5 speed in a 120 series car?? 120-130

I used a M47 (which is a 5-speed from an early 200 serie) and a M46 (also 200 serie) in my 130.

If you use the standard B23 bellhousing, the tranny bolts straight on, but sits on an angle. I had some vibration problems and thought the "sitting on an angle" was the prob, so I went from slanted M47 to slanted M47 but still had the same prob. So I got a welded bellhousing so the tranny would sit right up again, but still had vibrations. Turned out to be very slight unbalance in the flywheel. So probably you can just use the standard bellhousing and use a early type M47 (with speedo) or a M46 (4+OD) from the 200 series.

You do need to change:
-drive shaft
-frictionplate (depending what type tranny)
-tranny support arm
-shift linkage (if you plan on putting it in on an angle)

Cheers Ben
