Got my new tranny, since it doesnt fit i need to modify it. Ive drawn different adapter plates but in the end it was easier just to weld the bellhousing.

These will be merged!


After some measuring i cut the rx7 bellhousing, planning to use the stock location for the starter.


Bmw bellhousing cut and milled flat.


Now they just need to be aligned together



made a special alignment tool in the lathe


One end fit the rear main bearing and the other end fit gearbox input shaft bearing.
