    so i took it upon myself to swap my trans in my 95' 318i . . . unfortunately my 2nd and 3rd gear gave out so i bought a used one and i dont think i would be able to even attempt it without this video...i have searched and searched on youtube on how to diy but this video by far has been the best one i had came accross... only difference is mine is a automatic, so there where a few different steps i didnt need to do as well as different size bolts....nothing major,....you saved me lots of money and frustration on how to actually do it...your a life saver !

    let me ask you, I am looking to install a shifter kit on my Z3 (E36) instructions say to 'lower the transmission a little", well it is still connected to the engine, when you remove the transmission support bracket, does it drop at least an inch? which would give me enough space, or do I need to unbolt from the engine and or drop the engine as well. I suspect the engine mounts give a little but want to check with you since you did it.

You have the best step by step approach for e36 videos that I’ve seen on KZread. I can’t imagine how much time and effort it must have taken to record and edit the whole thing, thank you! From some of the reinforced bits it looks like you track or auto-x the m3, what events do you run?

    Diff bushing is original. Just started vibrations. I hear clunking sound when i reverse. But vibrating between 2-3k rpm the most on each gear. When I'm driving and press down on the clutch cruising on hwy the car stops vibrating. Then I'll go back in gear and car vibrate again. ... flex disc and center bearing looks good no cracks or play. I'm confused

    Genesislights it has to be high enough for you to fit underneath. You dont have to pull the transmission out all the way. I have my floor jack that lifts up to 19inchs off the floor and and i added wooden blocks to lift up even higher. If you dont need to take out the transmission you dont have to lift higher than 20inches off the floor
