just input for your awareness. i tried a 320i shift platform. did not work. if you look at one next to a 2002 platform, the 320 platform is MUCH higher. this prevented me from raising the back of the tranny high enough for proper driveshaft alignment. the platform hit the top of the tunnel. using a modified 2002 platform is a much better solution. bunch of pic's of issue and differences in my build thread...somewhere....;-)

found it, near bottom of page

mmm... foreal?!??!?! definitely didnt expect that one...

why would dave send me this one? from his 5 speed kit? i do have the e30 m3 shifter i could modify too :) and its aluminum... i just put up the tranny but not the shifter platform

As for the cylinders, the clutch cylinder is just an OEM one... the brake one is a wilwood compact remote cylinder and i also picked up a wilwood prop valve... whats your setup gonna look like?

260-10371-lg

part numbr 260-10374 ithink..

time for an update? sure why not...

Test fitting the brackets for the tranny.. nothing like some spot welding

my pops helping with the build
