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!
***The RU-vid algorithm really likes "Thumbs Ups" and "Shares" Thank you in Advance!!

The slave cylinder lines and wires should be fed through rubber bushings to prevent them from rubbing on the firewall causing damage in the future. Also using the bushings will keep fumes and water out of the inside of the car.

So these videos are really cool and well thought out. What would also make a really cool video would be somebody to show you how to bulletproof the SMG system instead of always just yanking it out for a 6-speed. You can throw a number out there like 60-70% of enthusiast prefer a manual gearbox with the clutch over the SMG automatically actuated system however, there are a lot of people out there that would prefer not to have to yank out everything and would like to bulletproof there system. A video that shows how to use INPA software to run the diagnostics, testing the accumulator, reading and clearing codes. Replacing the pump and accumulator with refreshed units or ones from burkhart etc... The SMG system can be fun and reliable if maintained and updated properly as well. There are lots of videos out there on RU-vid. The cover several different pieces of the SMG system and they're all fairly old and outdated. Certainly nothing with the production quality and value that you guys put out so that subject could definitely benefit from your areas of expertise with the updated production value style of 2022/23
@ShopLifeTV

Hey Shawn! I plan on doing just that with my SMG vert, even though the SMG system isn’t really able to be bulletproofed, there’s a few upgrades out there but they aren’t cheap either. For those that like the SMG or need to keep it, then it would make sense, just not financially

It looked like you had to install the black clutch switch which is the incorrect one for the M3. The M3 has a brown clutch switch, but it’s almost impossible to get them now since BMW only ships the black ones now.
