Impressive overhaul bringing that sad lump back to life.

 

Nice work ! I always admire the guys that have the lathes and know how to use them. I was wondering what you did to the 4 speed mount to make it work on the 3speed transmission? I did this swap in my 48 F68 but I used the three speed mount and modified the crossmember. I want to do put a three speed into my M3 and any help would be appreciated. , Doug.

I made this







Look like this











This was my first radius



Does that help?

 

So the outside seal stays the same and you use the yoke from the four speed? If I take my three speed mount and four speed mount to a machine shop the can just copy the three speed dimensions? How do you think the speedo will work with this setup? Thanks , Doug.

 

That is correct
