325ix 5-speed swap?

[joshw02]

Just looking for info on how involved a 5-speed swap on a 325ix might be. And what it might cost. I found a pretty nice 91' Auto for cheap and would love to put a 5-speed in it. Also the auto's have 4.10 rearends correct? and the 5-speeds were 3.91? Thanks in advance..

The swap would be the same as doing a RWD car, you would need the transmission, t-case, drive shaft(front and rear i think) pedals and slave all from a manual iX. Yes the auto came with 410s

you need all this except the driveshafts - they are the same between auto's and manuals on the ix.

the only other thing to say is you need pedals specific to airbag or non-airbag cars.

Yes, the pedals are not the same on those two

and what about the radiator? i noticed the lines and also the differences between the two, or do you guys just cap them off?

all you need is the tcase and the tranny ... i had it for sale but sold it.... keep the 4.10 diffs better feel especially 5 speed.
