    Can you make sure I'm buying the right parts?

    I have a transmission from an 84 325e that I want to put into my 88 325is soon and I just want to make sure I am buying the right parts. So far, in my cart at PelicanParts, I have the following:
    rebuild kit for the late shifter
    the bracket to allow me to use the late shifter on the early transmission
    8 12x28mm flywheel bolts (I have a single mass already)

    Looking at other transmission parts (clutch release fork, throw out bearing), I'm assuming I should buy the parts for the 84 cars since that's what the transmission is from instead of for the 88 cars since they are transmission parts. Is that correct?

    Thanks,
    Peter

    Other than the shifter and the holes in the bell housing for the ETA timing sensors the transmissions are the same. Use the flywheel, clutch, etc, for the 88.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      I already have the flywheel and will be buying a clutch and pressure plate from another member here, so I was more worried about stuff like the throw out bearing and release fork and the random things like that. Thanks for the help though!
