e30-redline 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2011 some1 has got to have one..... replaced my e30 325i manual gearbox with a mtech low kms 325i gearbox and the front half or the diveshaft i have is about 20mm to long Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tire 10 Report post Posted December 9, 2011 That's strange. Both of those cars should have the same gearbox - getrag 260's. Check what is stamped on both and report back. You know there is a spline where the two halves are joined that allows for something like 40mm of adjustment right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tire 10 Report post Posted December 12, 2011 Right, now it makes sense. Well good luck. If you end going the cut and shorten route post up how much it costs as I need to get mine done in the near future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
