A few questions

[speedhop]

I'd replace both. I wouldn't want to go under the car to tear apart the shift linkage again...pain in the butt.

#13 or #2?

[speedhop]

It's not the bushings. The shift rod coupler/joint...the part that attaches to the gear selector to the rod is no good. Replace that with a new one and see if that works out better.

[E30SPDFRK]

Never took it out. The bushings are pretty worn, but not that bad.

shifter in backwards?

[E30SPDFRK]

I cant engage reverse without forcing the center console over. I have new engine and transmission mounts and an unmodified e28 shift console.

How have you guys solved this?

[speedhop]

I chose to shave that bolt right off. No rubbing = no bolt.

And he is right about the canister...you don't need the purge valve if you choose so, but it's a good way to reduce hose size.

[E30SPDFRK]

Yeah I am, but that's not preventing the hose from fitting.

The first pic the bigger hose goes to your charcoal canister and the other thin end goes into one of the nipples under the middle of the intake manifold.


Me thinks you're missing a bolt in your lower timing case....

[E30SPDFRK]

Ok, finishing up questions.

First, where does this go?


Second, how does this hose fit? It hits both the belt and the little stud on the timing case cover. Hose is for a e32.

[E30SPDFRK]

Really need the e30 pinouts, I'm doing it tomorrow.

[E30SPDFRK]

What terminal do I mount the white wire on?

[E30SPDFRK]

anyone?

[E30SPDFRK]

But how do I connect them? Do I run wires between the two or do I just get rid of the plugs altogether?

Coolant hoses- I'd say you're going to have to do this custom. I just bought some 3/4 inch hose from an auto parts store and ran it all the way around to use the heater core.

Alternator- use an m30 one, i dunno about you car but my 325i the m30 belt was too big for the pulley

about the wiring, I'm almost doing the reverse wiring, since im downgrading my motronic, the easiest way is just to find pinouts and match them up, and when I say easy I mean not easy at all considering the ETM's are a pain in the ass to navigate if you don't know what you're doing.

here should be the pins for the e34 c101, go to the e28 one and look under M30 b35 Motor Conversion(Electrics)

someone else will have to help you with the e30 side
