            Linkage

            Hey guys,

            So what's the story with the gear linkage with these mounts?

            Do I need to modify the 260 linkage or will this solve all my problems?

            Currently M50 with E36 mount arms, and E28 M5 rubbers. Gearbox is just held in from the top with rope as it's not running yet.

            Desperately want to get it finished and my mission mounts is the last thing to do.

            Thanks in advance.

            James

              Gear linkage still needs to be twisted, this just solves the fact that when you mount the g260 to the m5x/s5x it rotates the trans 10 degrees. This braces allows you to still mount the trans with the 10 degree rotation.
              So long story short you still do need to modify your linkage, or purchase a pre-bent one.
