Managed to source a Getrag 265/6 box to do the manual swap in the 635csi and i'm struggling to see how the gear linkage attaches to the gearbox. Its the sheet metal type and looks like its missing the wings on the bottom??? I've attached a photo.
Sheet Metal Shifter

The only thing I can think of is that its for a different car? Was told the whole lot came off an 85 635csi so i'm stumped.
IIRC there are two small aluminium adaptor blocks, each of which has two 6mm dia holes in it, (edit; maybe they are actually 8mm...?) which are set at right angles to one another. One hole secures the adaptor to the back of the gearbox, the other to the sheet metal 'console'.
ISTR that you can see these parts on the relevant ETK
cheers

Yes, I already have the small mounting blocks and all the other bits. My problem is I have no holes in the sheet metal shifter to mount the small blocks too (i.e. the vertical ones). I've added some more photos so you can get a better idea of what i'm referring to.

To me it all looks like one piece or is there something that should bolt onto the holes in the side of it? Or is this car making me go mad?
From your photo I actually think you have those blocks oriented incorrectly. These two sheet metal consoles I have from 265/6 trannies are just as they came off the transmissions. They look to be set up oppositely. Maybe it makes no difference at all. Maybe enough difference to cause some issue. Just thought I'd post these pics. Let us know how your swap goes. With pics!!
