JasonL 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2009 Got an tranmisson conversonion done and I need a console that fits around the boot. Its the m-spec gearbox one with the reverse up next to first. Any one know whats sure post to hold the boot in. Have an auto surrounding for it but I will need to cut it as cant get it in reverse. are there special surroundings for this type of box. someone help. looks very untidy.

Guest FrantiC Report post Posted March 15, 2009 Got a picture? All e30 gearboxes have reverse up by 1st.. Manual swap doesn't involve a console change usually, with the e30 atleast? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh realy didnt know they all did. I have only seen 3 or 4 e30's like that. Heres a couple of pic's. I had to cut piece out as it wont go into reverse. also how does the boot go onto the surrounding panel. P.S. The panel was made for an auto I cut out the P.R.D.123 stuff. Does the boot slide under the panel?? Edited March 15, 2009 by DunzzersE30 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted March 15, 2009 yes remove the auto surround bit , console is the same . buy a new gear boot , vinyl or leather. if you have probs with getting into gear check /replace all you gear linkages and bushes might be worn out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
