I just purchased a 1989 325i manual E30 locally. This is my first German car (Honda owner). I have an issue in mainly 1-2 gear at lower RPM's. The driveshaft itself knocks on the floor/frame. The previous owner placed the middle balancer (guibo?) and the center bearing.
From what I understand the U-joints are beyond shot. I followed another thread which stated that the driveshaft costs roughly $300-$500 to get rebuilt. I was mainly curious to which other chassis driveshafts will fit mine. (Read that an E36 driveshaft is somewhat longer and will not).
My setup:
1989 325i
2.93 LSD rear end
Stock trans from M20b25
Thanks in advance.
