I understand that they are adjustable...

So you used back the E30 propshaft with the E36 gearbox??

I think i shouldn't have any problem installing e36 box onto my e30.

I need to buy the aluminium shifter balancer too

I'm gonna use 87' 240 manual long shaft. hopefuly it can be fit as well.

Propshaft is the shaft from CSB to trans. I dont think this can be changed. I assume you are talking about the rear section that is splined?

I tried fitting the E30 driveline in the car with a G250 installed and the propshaft was too long. The CSB was too far behind the chassis mounting points.

Do people weld in new chassis attachment points for the CSB?

In my case driveshaft was shortened through splines and was short enough to install E36 ZF 225 gearbox. In future I am planning to replace it with one peace driveshaft in order to move engine backwards and save some weight.

If you miss few millimeters you can elongate the holes.
