In this video we show you how to properly convert the SMG transmission from an e46 M3 to a 6-speed manual transmission. If you're attempting to do this DIY, we assume you know how to remove the transmission and replace a clutch so we focused most of the details on the conversion itself to keep the video from being too long. Thank you for watching!
