Manual Transmission mounts
I'm interested in replacing the original transmission mounts in my 6MT. I see on ECS transmission mounts that are round and oem ones that are square, and so am a bit confused. For reference.
https://www.ecstuning.com/b-corteco-...312283285~cor/ and then this from 034: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-034motor...4-509-3646~kt/ The second picture is a "kit" that includes a motor mount and transmission mount. Notice that the transmission mount is round. ECS indicates that 034 simply replaces the oem square transmission mount with the round one. Is that correct? Thanks |

I recall studying the stock rectangular mounts and several aftermarket E36/46 mounts I have and that there was a height difference. I’ll check again next time my car is on the lift.

Thanks, I'm wondering if ECS just got it wrong and those are for a different transmission.

Might not be another trans but another model car. The GS6-53 was used in a bunch of cars. 2007-2010 335i, 535i, 135i, all with a 6 cylinder bell housing. 2006-2016 M5 and M6, 2008-2013 M3, all with V8 bell housing. I just put a GS6-53 from a 335i into my E36M3 and it came with round hourglass mounts like an E46M3 uses. Maybe a 335i trans brace is different and would allow the round or hourglass style mounts. Have not looked into that but maybe someone here knows.
