Need to replace a whining gearbox in a mates 95 323i.
Anyone know if the box from a 320 or 325 is a direct swap ie propshaft guibo size?
Dont want to get the wrong one only to find out the original prop doesnt fit.
Cheers

Try asking on E36Coupe forum.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

325i and 525i ZF box's will work, not 100% sure on the 320 box but it has to be a ZF if it does fit

Do you want to buy one? :)

use ETK Tony, look up the prop guibo and clutch and check for parts useage, takes all the guesswork out but I'm 99% she'll bolt up no issues.
