the crossmember came with the transmission I got. so it's just got to be installed.
If the manual is from a 240D that cross member wont fit. You will also want to use the heavy duty tranny mount. Pedal assembly is a sinch, instead of cramping down there you can get to the bolts with 2-3 extensions coming in parallel to the ground right under the dash. If you look its a straight shot to the bolts. I dont think you have to lose cruise, but mine was missing when I got it. The linkage will have to be adjusted as well. Youll love it when its done and wonder why anyone would drive with an automatic.
