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.
