S50 gearbox & aircon problem

[tomson]

Gearbox.

I'm using the 5speed box but it didnt come with any shifting lever or linkage, do i need to use the E30 325i set up or will i need to buy the correct S50 bits???

Aircon bracket.

This piece is broken on the compressor bracket, it fits on the out side of it and i cant find it anywhere on the ETK can someone shed some light please??



Thanks in advance

E30 linkages are no good, im pretty sure any E36 6 pot shifting linkages will work mate

Have never seen a seperate piece of aircon bracketry though, post a pic of the compressor

cheers, the compressor is at work so cant take a pic till tomorrow! Its weird cause ive trawled the ETK and it doesnt show anything but the main bracket......

The S50 is from a ZMcoupe if that makes a difference??

That air con compressor bracket doubles up as the exhaust emmisions air pump bracket i believe.

If so, then its on ETK/EPC/RealOEM in section 11 (Engine) page 1323
BMW part number 11.72.1.402.236

Where are you in Bristol, i may have a bracket on an S50 that i was using.

Cheers

James, It's Tom from Brandon hire mate

I'm ditching the emissions pump so may not need this bracket then?

I will be in touch when I've investigated later on

Hi Tom, wondered if it was you lol.

Yeah ditch the emmissions pump, but if your keeping aircon then you'll need the bracket. If your getting rid of aircon then chuck the whole thing and have an empty drivers side of the block.

See you soon i'm sure.

Tom,

I'm 99% sure you don't need that bracket if you bin the air pump. I certainly don't have it on my car (aircon fitted).

I think it may be this one:

That's the puppy Ian.

I've had a look and i think if i shorten the bolts that bolt through this bracket and the aircon compressor there will be no need for it....

Thanks again for your help

[tomson]

Can someone shed some light on if any of these gear shift parts are any good to me ;

From the 3.2 Z3M 5 speed box





Or do I just need to buy this lot ?

E36 328i

[DanThe]

Thats no use mate, 328 stuff is what you need

[DanThe]

Actually, the lever itself would be useful if there is enough room above the prop for the extra throw

[tomson]

I had wondered if i could use the lever......

Sheps said he fitted one in this thread

Do you think I should just buy the rest and try my lever with that?

Any idea how my lever would compare to the Z3 1.9 one??
