Figured I'd start a thread as a start to gather parts for my swap, so I can just reference one thread instead of starting many different threads.
I have an 90 E30 325i coupe auto along with a 92 E36 325i sedan auto.
I just located a complete manual trans swap from a 97 m3: trans, clutch, flywheel, pedal assembly, shift linkage, slave cylinder and line, driveshaft, and fasteners for what I think is a pretty reasonable deal.
Acquired
-ZF S5D 320Z 5-speed $650
-Driveshaft from the m3 part of above cost
-M50nv with wire harness, eco, and accessories
-E36 engine mount arms
-E36 steering rack
-E36 Radiator Hoses
-E30 late model radiator
-E30 manual airbag pedal set $50
Parts Needed
-E34 525i Oli Pan, dipstick, oil pickup $250
-E34 throttle cable $30
-E28 or AKG motor mounts $30-120
-E21 or 944 Brake Booster modified $250
-E30 M50/S50 Wiring Harness Adapter $200?
Running Potential Total~$1700
This is the list I have come up with so far, I am sure I'm probably missing stuff as this will be my first swap ever and the first time doing a auto to manual trans swap. Any other parts I should be acquiring that aren't listed?
