I hate you say this, but have you tried a local recycler or junk yard if you don't want to pay $300+ for a rebuilt one and need it bad?

[leadguy.howe]

yes ive tried a local junkyard..its so so hard to even find e30's around here and the one junkyard i know that gets e30's only has one of them and its already been stripped.....this sucks so bad

Bavarian Recycler (as much as I don't exactly like them sometimes) probably do have some in stock.

Here is one with new CSB.... and warranty.

Drive shaft?

What is the difference between the auto and five speed, can the front end interchange? I have a good one in my 1985 318i parts car, I would let go real cheap but it is an auto?

Thanks
