Just a query really, as i'm trying to convince my dad an E24 is a possibility for a new car! :D He's Just bored of his 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0, and really doesn't like automatic gearboxes!

So my query is, can you convert a E24 M30 635csi from an automatic to a manual using all the neccesary parts from an E34 m30 530i or 535i?

Don't really know anything about this topic so it really is just a query, so I can suggest it to my dad!


Thanks
Ollie.

My dad really hates them though thinks they're really boring! Probably won't like a 635 but worth a try! :D

An auto to manual kit will cost you about £500 for everything s/h. It's fairly straightforward spannering.
