e30 m3 s52 swap - zf tranny - tranny mount not fitting

[kbc]

in the midst of installing the engine however the standard e30 tranny mount doesnt seem to fit with the ZF tranny from the S52.

when we slide it into place the bolts arent lining up. is there another transmission mount i should be using? i've searched and it seems we should be able to use the standard mount...

tranny part # is zf 1053 401 097

xmember is 2 225 261

23712225261 is the aluminum E30 M3 crossmember, which won't work. You need 23711176574, which is made from stamped steel.

Thanks for the tip!
