Hi guys,

For those of you fitting or running M52 with ZF box and E36 propshaft....did you go to the trouble of fitting 3 bolts in each direction when fitting the flexi disk between transmission and propshaft? In the end I pulled the output flange off the box as the bolts were too long to slot straight in. Just checking I've done the right thing?

Anyone know before I go ahead and do three bolts each way?

In case anyone checks here with the same question...

I decided to go ahead and pull the output flange off so I could get three bolts in facing the right way. Whilst I was in there I replaced the gearbox output seal for good measure.
