Would a 325i auto box work with a 316i engine or do i need to find a torque converter ?

Does a 316 have any torque to convert?!

I thought all boxes had them built in or something no?

Why u want switcable auto for a 1.6?

The bell housing will be different for a start

Yeah there won't be a lot to convert :mad: but it should physically fit, just not sure if it will move the car. They all seem to be HP 22 gearboxes but i can't find much info on the converter's and i'm wondering what will happen if i just bolt it together :?
