    Swap problems - please help

    i did the euro s50 swap and used the getrag 260 but now found that the tranny i stuffed and making some funny noises so i managed to get a m3 tranny(ZF)....

    Was fitting the tranny and got it on properly but the 328 driveshaft i have does not fit....


    the motor mounting arms i used are too low?(please advise)....sump is touching the steering rack....

      The motor could rocking forward not having the transmission mount on and sitting it self on the rack.

              you have the wrong motor mounts you need the green e28 mounts
              http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/...-88)%2C%20Each
              the mounts are about 1.5 taller so they will clear the drive shaft
              also the drive should be the right one for a 5 speed zf320 . do you think you can post some pics of the trans its self and make sure its not a 6 speed zf that are about 3in longer? also I think the center support paring is on back wards
              looking for a e30m50 swap harness adapter pm me $150 shipped

                  im sure that its the 5 speed, the centre support is on backwards coz i tried it the other way as the first try didnt work, they dont line up front or backwards..

                  are the motor mounts the ones shaped like a pyramid? i thought those were trans mounts?
