after you do a little more research, we may be able to help you out.

What tranny do you have (or plan to buy)?

Are you asking if it will fit? If so, stick around, you've got some reading to do.

If you mean using the "m20 trans" whatever that is... its

- cut out the tunnel

- place trans

- build tunnel around it.

its big. really big. Bigger than an Oh Henry or one of those giant Toblerone bars you see at Christmas. You have to add more height than you do width.

But if you run a 240 trans from a e30 318is (m42 engine) you don't need to mod the tunnel at all. Other then hammering out some space for the slave cylinder.

I am not sure if the 240 will sit stright up and down when connected to the m20 tho. Maybe someone else can chime in and answer that.

You would also need to run an electric speedo (which is no big deal)

I love my electric speedo...it is actually correct, all the time.
