I have all but completed my M50 Swap. However in my rush to get the engine out and into my car it seems I have left the clutch slave cylinder behind! Now I don't know what I need to replace it. The E30 on is too short by far. The engine and box came from an E30 that was already converted and has since been moved on. I think the engine and box were from an E34.

So my question is, what gearbox has these numbers on the side....

122193619 2.1 225.

As an aside, is it any good? I am desperate to get this sorted The car is running ready to go but with no clutch is stuck in my mates garage!

Any help much appreciated.

2.1
225

I'll have a look tonight if I can.

Whether it has a solid or dual mass flywheel will have relevance to this as well!
