[DJ_B4L]

how hard is it to convert a auto to a manual i have a 318i auto at the moment

im thinking of fitting a 325i engine it comes with a manual gear box
what do i need to convert it?

the pedals
clutch slavecylinder
anything else?

and also how hard is it do?

if not how hard is it to add a switchable auto box to the engine and to the car it self what would i need

[DJ_B4L]

any one?

[stuartgallafant]

pedal box
gearbox
gear shift unit
clutch system inc. reservoir
flywheel
wiring loom mod to remove inhibitor

and possibly a prop shaft too

shouldnt be too difficult. i know of one zoner that done it in 3 days

Ur best off getting a cheap 325 and stripping it for things like the reservoir mounting brackets etc

i am gettin all the stuff with the 325i engine to convert my 318i to a 325i

its going to a have a manual box on it already so i dont need to change the fly wheel
it willcome with the clutch reservoir and prop, exhaust

jus wondering wondering what i need to make mine accept the manual setup

[DJ_B4L]

so far i think i need

the pedal setup
clutch slave
gearbox ( will come with the engine)
clucth fluid reservoir

is it hard job to take the auto clutch pedal setup out and replace it will the manaul one?

in two minds at the moment also interested in fitting a switchable auto box to it would this require alot of new wiring or is it jus a plug and play job?
