For a 5 speed swap from a BW65 automatic do I have to use a certain shifter and shift platform? Or the shifter etc from the donor car?
Thanks Tom
Thanks Tom
Ok thanks.... I think so too. Just have read so many posts talking about different set ups.I'm in the process of swapping mine and have the donor parts out of an e28, from what I understand, thats all I'll need (except the e3 clutch pedal)
Have a 260 from a 533iDepends on the transmission you are using. 265/5, 265/6 or 260?
Sounds like my plan, but much more advanced in progress. What car did you get your VDO speedo from?
mine didnt look like that either. but it's close enough to know what I'm talking aboutMust be because you are using a 260? Never seen that mount.
I installed my linkage yesterday. there's no provision for rear bushing for the upper bracket to mount in the trans tunnel. (the circled bit in this pic)
I got everything where I wanted it and drilled a hole straight up and ran a bolt through it. you could go through the task of welding a tab, but I've seen a couple others do what I did.
