Is your engine tilted too forward which would put the tranny to high in the tunel?
Thanks everyone for feedback
The car is undrivable at the moment due to having to take most of the interior apart to get a non working speedometer out for repair ( what a muther of a job that is) but as soon as it’s back on the road I will get underneath it and take some photos and revisit this problem.
Don, when are you coming down under next?
BTW at the last track day although I can’t start off the line hard, the engine pulled hard all the way to 6700-6800 rpm in second and third....?
Funny thing is the rubber support that is engineered for CK support is Febi for another bmw.
Cost is 1/10 the price
Is this bracketry only necessary for the 5 speed conversion? The factory 4 speed has enough support as is?A little spendy yes, but I think it makes the conversion look like it was born there. Worth it IMHO:

Thanx for pic.Wolfram, as promised, a pic of my bridge. It's a easy DIY welded part , but as mentioned , it better should have wider side pads to accept 2 T bolts each side. The ones now are scary close to the opening in the chassis rails.
My gearbox has only 1 mount at the right side. ( dogleg 5 speed)

Thanks ChrisThe five speed sits farther back and the track ends near there thus needing additional support.
