Sorry if I'm about to beat a dead horse but I need to clarify before attempting a swap because my e30 is my daily driver and I want to make sure everything goes smooth over the weekend of the swap.
So, i have a 1988 325iS. I am going to buy a 1987 325e that is manual. If I take everything from the 325e from the flywheel to the driveline, the only things I need to be concerned about is:
- late model csb
- Use the dual mass flywheel and stock throwout bearing
- 325i clutch
- 325i shifter linkage
- leave the cps sensor in but just don't wire it up obviously
- 325e manual driveshaft
- stock 325e guibos
My questions would be:
1. Do i have my info on the dm flywheel and stock tob right?
2. Do I absolutely need to have 325i shifter linkage to drive around or is it recomended?
3. And a stupid question: can i put the manual pedal box in while the car is still auto? I hear the pedal box is one of the harder parts to do and I'd rather get it out of the way while the car is still driveable.
Any help is much appreciated, if anyone has done this exact late eta to late i manual swap please let me know. Hopefully its pretty straight forward.
