Resolved: How Did This Happen?

[ykarabala]

How do I go about fixing this? Transmission is tilted a little to the right and I've been messing with it for hours with no luck.

What trans? What engine? Is that the stock trans brace?

Is that brace on backwards?

Sorry I posted late and forgot to add details... 86 325es with S50/ZF trans. Yes it's the stock brace.

Looking at it again, you certainly do have the trans brace swapped side to side. Unbolt it from the trans and body, flip it 180° (driver for passenger side).

...and I would change that crumbling Giubo :/

Thank you so much for the input. Was considering switching it but I was beat. Will report again once I take care of the issue.

How do you guys know everything? It was backwards and now everything sits the way it's supposed to.

Thank you again R3v community

So you have m20 engine and m50/s50 transmission? The m20 and m50/s50 have different tilt. You need adapter trans brace to cope with different tilt off trans and engine. Like this: https://store.garagistic.com/getrag-...smission-brace

Yes that is also wrong way but if you have that engine and trans mismatch, flipping it will not help.

The engine is S50 and the trans is ZF.
