Would you be making the plate OR the bell housing ?

What else would be needed, and my questions still apply to the donor transmission.
with the getrag 265 you would need:

getrag 265 and shifter from a BMW, about $200 at PNP
new custom cast bell
hydraulic throwout bearing
modify MB shifter rod and bracket if needed
clutch is sized by trans spline and diameter
use mb pressure plate and flywheel
3 ear adapter on BMW is different, I think the spline will accept the MB part but I stopped before I verified this, if not it will take some sort of adapter
adjust front DS length
