kowalski's pictures | ok... so you supplied the engine you have, but you did not supply any information about the e36 transmission... Do you know how many different e36 transmissions there are? A lot... |

Weeman83's pictures | An E36 motor fitted with an E30 6 cylinder transmision will cause the entire gear shift to console to lean slightly to one side, so I imagine the vice versa set up would lean the other side. So that's your first hurdle. |

| newbie | trans problem! do you have a solution im talking about the e36 1999 m3 zf tranny! i did some homework and so far i found out that it should bolt up to the block! but i have the tilt problem with the shifter, and the mounting points are a little off, the driveshafts are different lengths and the e36 has a yoke joint for the diff, (e30 is just a 4bolt plate!) thats all i found out so far! any further information id greatly appericeate it. thanks Gents  |
