m50 into 1988 325

[Grimm862]

So can I use the driveshaft and tranny from the 88? its a super eta.

I have a chance to grab a 1988 325 with a ton of suspension work done for like 900 and a complete m50 motor ecu and tranny with less than 100k on it for 1300. But if I could use my tranny that would deff save me some cash.

you can use the 88's tranny with the m50 no problem. i am running the piss out of my 88 tranny and driveline with an s50. it likes it. :)

I can use it with no modifications?

You have to bend the shift rod carrier and selector. And you have to either get diff tranny mounts, or weld up a new tranny bracket to compensate for the 10* or so shift of the tranny.

I am very surprised that no one offers a prebuilt transmission bracket for the market on this.

Some one here was but I don't remember his screen name.
