320i manual gearbox in 325i Sport Auto?

Just out of interest, would it be possible to put the gearbox from a Manual '89 320i into an AUTO '87 325i Sport to replace the knackered one (and obviously have the advantage of being manual)? Im not very technical so I would probably pay someone to do it. Just wondering if its possible as I have 320i and have seen a Sport for sale with a worn gearbox very cheap. I have no idea if the ratio's would be any good for it. Im assuming they would be closer so you would have better acceleration?

Thanks for any help!

it would fit yes... however it wont have the correct close ratios that the sport manual's had
