Hey forum - My E9 was originally an Automatic Gearbox car that now has a Getrag 265 5-Speed installed. Is there supposed to be a gearbox mounting support like the Mounting Kit that W&N sells in the link below? Is it possible to even have a mount as such for Getrag? It looks like my car does not have any exhaust gearbox mount installed. Is it a problem without this support? Many thanks.

Without a mount the asbestos lined disc will wear out sooner even if you keep tightening the three bolts for each downpipe and the rattle will drive you crazy. You need to fabricate something.

Thank you Chris. Do you suppose that Mounting Kit would work? The swap was done many years ago without any issues thus far. I will have to fabricate if that kit doesn't work.

Thread 'Barney’s Baikal Blue coupe refresh'

After having had a BMW 2002 for the last 46 years and refreshing six over the last seven years I decided to start looking for a E9 coupe project. After a few months of talking with friends my buddy Mike Pugh told me about a dry 71 2800 Baikal Blue With white interior that had been sitting for fifteen years in North Carolina that was coming up for sale, After reviewing pictures and working up a tentative price on April 7 My wife and I loaded up the car trailer and headed to North Carolina give it a look over in person…pleased with what I saw we went ahead and made the purchase.
