BMW Z3 Manual Transmission Swap: Flywheel, Clutch, Manual Transmission Install

love to watch your videos keep it up

[@driventofailure]

Thank you, I have a few things coming just getting held up by life.

Great video, lots of useful info. I noticed in your parts video a big metal gasket or plate which has all bolt holes and starter recess, sits in-between the transmission and engine when it’s mates up! Did you use it or not necessary ?

[@driventofailure]

I did use it, it closes up the open space between the engine block and trans bell housing. If you don't use it I imagine you'll get a bunch of road grime and water splashed up in to the cavity where your clutch lives... yikes

In the automatic transmission zf6hp of the bmw e60, which engine would fit in it without adaptations or with few? Ea113, ea888, N13, Hyundai Lambda, Hyundai Theta?

Another question, very rear linkage shifter bushing to body, how does it install and is there a clip that hold’s it? Thanks in advance

[@driventofailure]

There is a bracket on the body that holds the bushing too which the rear of the shifter inserts.

[@spaceexplorer6636]

@@driventofailure ok. So just insert it ! Is there a clip or fastening method ? How does it stay in there ?

[@driventofailure]

Finger and groove on either side of the bushing, just rolled it in... nothing extra

[@spaceexplorer6636]

@@driventofailure Great I thought I was missing a clip. BTW. mines Turquoise Green as well. Never seen another until yours in video. 👍🏻

Wasn't sure about the color at first but it's grown on me, glows in the sunshine
