Basic installation steps:

1. Align the Adapter: Position the adapter plate between the transmission output flange (96mm PCD) and the E30 driveshaft flange (78mm PCD).
2. Bolt the Adapter to the Transmission: Use the provided M12 bolts to secure the adapter to the transmission's output flange.
3. Attach the Driveshaft: Connect the driveshaft to the adapter using the supplied M10 bolts.
4. Ensure Proper Alignment: Proper driveline alignment is crucial to prevent vibrations. Ensure that all components are aligned correctly before final tightening.
5. Final Checks:

• Verify that the driveshaft has sufficient clearance and that there is no binding through the range of motion.
• Check for proper alignment to prevent vibrations.
• Test drive the vehicle to ensure smooth operation.

It's essential to note that while this adapter facilitates the connection between differing flange sizes, maintaining near-perfect driveline alignment is vital for a vibration-free driving experience. The adapter's design, using a standard flex disc, allows for more driveline deflection without failure compared to aluminum swap guibos.
