Just about to put the m52 box on and I just need to know if I use the same gearbox mounts or do I need different ones that are higher or lower?? Also can the m20 clutch slave work on this box or do I need the m52 one. Thanks

You can use the E30 gearbox mounts, although some people say they can be a little soft and recommend using the mounts from an E21.

Iirc, you will need the slave cylinder that matches the gearbox.

Ive just fitted some landrover v8 engine mounts as my gearbox mounts, £3 each on ebay, about 5mm taller but like hockey pucks snd really stiff.
Let you know how I get on with them :)
