Hey guys
Been having a terrible time with my car. I recently did a 5 speed swap but the guys who did the work for me just messed me around.
I had to replace almost everything that they put in.
First off, they used the wrong master cylinder, gearbox, linkages, almost everything!
So i went and got the right parts (Gearbox G260, Master Cylinder, Seals for gearbox, Selector rod & bushings Etc...)
Ok... Enough of the rant...
My question is:
Are there different length/diameter driveshafts? The reason i ask is that i suspect the mech used the wrong one as my engine is sitting a bit forward and its causing my motor mounts to break.
The reason for my suspicion is that he used a G240 GB (Euro 320i) which i know is slightly shorter than the G260. Therefore he would have had to use a longer driveshaft (Euro 320i 37mm longer than 325i). Checked on realoem.com and it shows two different driveshaft lengths between the two.
Now, i have installed the right gearbox but the motor sits really forward. You can see the motor mount forced a bit forward.
Are my assumptions correct?
