To Rebuild The BW35 or Swap in M41 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be shayne on  Wed Oct 4 06:36 CST 2006 [RELATED]

From a different post:

...It's not a straight swap. Everything that makes a four speed shift will go in, pedals, hydraulics, etc. but there is no accommodation for the trans crossmember; here there will be welding, cutting, brackets...depending on the approach.
I've seen many ways of hanging an M40/41 in an automatic car, all are probably fine. The loudest complaint is that upon completion, there is very little room for a man-sized foot between the tunnel and brake pedal (on the gas).
It's been more than ten years since I did mine, I vowed at that time I would never do another. In hindsight, I should have fixed up the donor car.
Best,
Shayne.
