      edit: Anyone know if the G240 can bolt up to the M20?


      Someone feel free to correct me if im wrong, but I think will fit but you have to shorten the input shaft of the g240 or else it wont bolt up all the way.

        Honestly Im not sure. Ive scrapped that idea anyways and picked up a G260 already. It was going to need too much monkeying around to make it work and then a good deal popped up locally.

              We definitely need to do that before you back up north. When’s that all going down??

              Happy 3-25 day everyone!!

              I celebrated today by getting the last piece of the 5speed swap, aka “kill the dream killer” project . The shaft. It’s nice to have friends that will let you grab their shaft when they aren’t using it anymore



              Picked that up and gathered the rest of the goodies together for a pic... it’s all there



              I’ve spent about the same total on everything individually as I would’ve to have just bought a complete “kit” but most of my parts are new. Should be a damn good feeling having that stick in my hand... lol

              Enough of that now. I plan on dropping off the car this Thursday night and upon my return 3 days later, I will celebrate with a clutch drop haha

                  What did you end up doing for the clutch hydraulic - is that a one-piece line that I see? I am considering using this rather than dealing with the two-piece OEM set up for my swap. The one in your pic looks similar.

                    Did you buy it from Brad (spiDmang) ? You didnt make eye contact with him did you?

                    and I thought Ireland Engineerings piece was overpriced...

                      Im pretty sure the IE piece only replaces the stock rubber line (still need hard line from master)


                      That one piece line from chase bays eliminates the need for the hard line and connects straight from master to slave

                        That's correct. The factory hard line is still available for purchase new, however it must be bent to the exact angle required - https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...mm-34326755555

                        The chase bays line eliminates this headache, and seems worth it to me since I'll be doing the labor myself.
