335i gearbox options

just a quickie, what's needed to convert an auto 535/335 to manual?

If you are using the later E34 M30 engine you can use any 3lt/3.5lt from E28/E32/E34 maybe others but if you are using the older E28 engine you can't use the E34 box. You will also need a suitable manual flywheel and clutch, I'm using an E28 single mass flywheel & clutch on an E34 engine/box. You CAN use the auto loom with no problems but think you will need a manual ECU??

I now have a spare E34 dual mass flywheel

thank you for the reply mate.

so a e28 (5)35i would need the relevant e28 manual bow and ecu?

Wasn't sure about the ECU, I knew I'd be wrong
