GO 6 SPEED WITH YOUR E30 SWAP!
When swapping in an M6x and you want to use a BMW 6 speed transmission, the additional length of the transmission means you cannot use your factory transmission brace. You will need to "extend it". To do this, you need these pre-cut trans bracket extension brackets. Simply weld them onto your factory brace and you 6 speed is mounted! Please note that this extension is not required when doing the 5 speed behind an M6x.
This bracket will ALSO WORK E30 who want to do a 6 speed conversion using getrag E36 m euro 6 speed, ZF 6 speed or E46m 6 speed gearbox. So you can now have a 6th gear in your E30 with your M42, M47, M20, M50, M52, S52, M54, S54 engine combo! These adapters allow the use of your OEM transmission brace.
