Ok thanks, did you need to adjust the gear selector rod length?

Since I'm hunting down a 5 speed box from a 328i for my M52, I would be interested in the e30 m3 prop if you're selling as I believe it would fit the 5 speed fine.

If you mean the link bar between the stick and the gearbox then yes I had to cut it twist and shorten it.

Your not going to believe this

A 318i auto prop is a perfect fit at 137cm

Just need to re use the smaller gb output shaft

Bummer !

happy days, I can see the price of those going up from now on :teehee:

could you not just cut the flange off the end of the prop, weld the larger one on,
so you can use the bigger/stronger doughnut......
