First let me say I know nothing about auto boxes whatsoever. but it's clearly advertised as a 4HP22, and it's from an E30, so that's what he bought, and that's what he's got.
If he want's it for an E30, then it should fit. If it's not for an E30, then he shouldn't have bought it, or should have done his research more carefully.
Either tell him to register on here, and we'll see if we can sort it out, or I can see no reason why he shouldn't sell it on by putting it back on ebay.
He might even make a profit.

as i've found out the switchable auto is a lot different to a standard auto

with the switchable its got a whole other loom all around the interior, ecu in the boot, different engine loom to the standard one and a kickdown switch on the pedal.
At a guess one of you has a standard auto.
