I'm using an E21 323i M20 flywheel and clutch, with the M42 gearbox and standard M42 release bearing. Is this ok? I hadn't given it a second thought until I saw this thread!

its all running i shortened the gear linkage and had the prop shortened today 
. only problem i now have is the rev counter is over reading is this just a matter of changing the rev counter or would i be right in thinking the coding plug for the dash .
