    what can i use?

    Somebody wants to sell me a 5 speed swap for my 84 318i, here is the list of what comes with it.

    5 spd Gearbox approx 280000km ( was rebuilt once so I am told by the po who had the work done at a shop)
    Trans mount
    Drive shaft
    Shifter & linkage
    Center console
    Pedal set
    Master cylinder & slave cylinder
    clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing
    Rad

    Now, since i have a 5 speed in my 89 325i, i was wondering which parts i can use from it towards the swap, that way i can save some money and use parts i already have. I am hoping the majority of the parts will be able to be used.
    cheers

    Why would you take parts from the 89?

      For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than to Google it for themselves.





      Edit: Its not that hard man.

        parts

        the body on the 325i is rough so i am using parts from it to make my 318i better and then will part the rest out. and to the guy who says its not that hard, i have never done it before, i know it is easy to find what you need for a 5 speed swap, i need to know which parts out of a 89 325i 5 speed can be used on my 84 318i for a 5 speed swap, i will then know what model specific parts are left for me to purchase.
        cheers

          Keep in mind the shifter assemblies are completely different.

            I am not trying to be a cock...just suggesting you search a bit.

            Check out bmwfans.info and do some x-refrencing of p#'s maybe?

              no prob

              i will do that. i was just hoping that someone who was on the forum relaxing and reading posts could answer it for me and save me the time i dont have lol. i am just following the learning curve (still) and appreciate it when a guy who has done it before takes the time to help out. i will try to search it out, and hopefully i already have a good chunk of the parts i will need.
              cheers guys

                i believe there is a couple threads on here and e30tech that have a diy on the trans swap.. check faqs and diy forums... also what is bad on the 89? i would personally swap everything to that one... fenders, doors, trunk, bumpers, hood and front support imo are worth it lol, only reason i could see not is extreme rust or bad body damage on a rear quarter panel...

                but i am just stating my opinion of course.
