Hello all, 5 Speed Conversion mount kit from Coupe King check the picture I had this for a long time when I start my project but today was a day that I try it but didn't work My 5speed came from E36 M3 and didn't work I could use the transmission mount since it was right height but I put the other mount that didn't match on it and I use the bolt and nut if you check the pix you will know I paid $365.00 plus tax close to $400.00 if any one need this bracket just offer me and don't be shy I don't need this and I don't know what type of gear box is for I think he have to mention what type of gear box is for then sale the after market product but he didn't.
first pix is my bracket - 2nd and 3rd Coupe King

Isn't this mount strictly for the getrag 265?

What trans came with an e36 m3?

yeah the coupe king is for a 5 speed from the 80 known as a 265 , the trans you have pictured is an e36 trans , you will need to make up a mount that fit that from scratch

Hello, Yes I did make a bracket from 3/8" metal plate and holds up very good but what Coup king have look nice and professional and I have been told that E36 gear box is much better gear box what do you think is that better choice?
 
you will want a 5 speed or 6 speed that fits the S54 , a 265 trans will not bolt up to an S54 , that coupe king mount does NOT fit a trans that will bolt up to an S54 you will have to make a custom mount like I did when I did an S54 conversion in a E12 and years later in a E9 , Personally I would source a 5 speed trans out of an e36 M3 and make your own mount

yes you are right it's my bad I should of read it actually my helper finds it and send me the picture and I told him go ahead and buy, I should of go to site and check it, but again he didn't know what kind of box I am going to buy and now it is good for whoever need this part they don't have to spend 400 I maybe let it go for half price and spend that money for speed box since I have to install a speed box to be able have speedometer.
