Hi got my 325 engine and box in place into a 320 only to find the gearbox electric plug is different. How is this issue resolved. Any help is appreciated. Many thanks Ahmed.

What electric plug? Reverse light switch? Or is this an EH auto box?

Did the 320 engine have an EH box on it?

It that case the gearbox electric plug isn't "different", it simply doesn't exist on the recipient car.
Two options. Either fit the 'box from the 320 to the 325, or obtain and fit all the EH gubbins - loom, kickdown switch, TPS, selector switch and ECU.
