    M20 Getrag- New motor mounts?

    I bought an 1989 325i with an automatic trans. I want to swap in a manual but here's the thing: There's this guy close to my house that has a wrecked e36 (bless it's heart) so I want to get that tranny(getrag260 I believe.. Correct me if i'm wrong) and put it in as an investment for an engine later. I have big plans for this car but not a ton of money yet.

    I was wondering if anyone has tried to custom fab brackets before. i've searched but this is all I could find:



    The tranny is going to turn abot 10 degrees which is what I am trying to avoid so I don't have to modify the shifter and risk having mis shifts




    is it possible to use e36 motor mounts and brackets or would I have to custom fab them? Anyone try this or have positive input? Thanks!

    m20 tranmission is the getrag 260, the e36 uses a zf trans that sits at about 10degrees off for the e30. its doable but not worth it on an m20 really.
