Seeking 5-speed swap new parts list?

[millsamus]

Looking to finally do a E30 Manual Transmission conversion swap and I need your opinion on the NEW parts that should be replaced.

So far I have a complete swap available, but need to know if what parts should be replaced with new ones. While I am in there I want to replace as many parts to new ones if recommended!!!

I have seen many threads what explain the swap process but lack details on every single gasket and bushing I will need. I am still learning so I apologize if I missed this information in another thread.

Such as:

-slave cylinder
-master cylinder
-master cylinder reservoir
-engine mounts
-center carrier bearing??
-guibo
-gaskets?
-exhaust gaskets?

-Reservoir to Master Hose*

When I do a five speed swap I use new parts for:

Clutch fork pivot pin
Clutch, pilot & throwout bearing
Clutch master, slave, and soft line
Clutch and pressure plate bolts
Brake fluid reservoir & seals
Shifter bushings and selector shaft joint
Shifter boots
Transmission mounts
Center support bearing (to match the car)
Guibo
Clutch switch

The flywheel gets resurfaced and if the drive shaft u-joints aren't in very good condition I'll use a reman from Drive Line Services, in which case I don't need the CSB.

Used parts in good condition are fine for the rest.

Thanks, I am currently overwhelmed with how many parts I need to order before I begin the project... There is still so much I have yet to learn and find out about! !! Hard to decide to buy new OEM BMW parts or parts from 3ed party sites such as pelican, bavauto, or BMPDesign.

How long should a OEM BMW clutch last? Lighter clutches are not on my mind yet and I will NOT be racing so I do not require a fancy clutch such as Stage 2, because I do not intend on changing anything to the M20.

Clutch master, slave, and soft line aftermarket supplier FTE on both slave and master

Thanks for your 2 cents! I'm still getting familiar with all the seals and gaskets and bushings I need. Beginning to stay with a oem shifter also. The stock height is perfect, yet I also believe that I can select the shifter to minimize the distance when shifting... Thinking out loud here...

Still a noob learning! Any and all information is appreciated and helpful.

Current thinking

bump.

Still pin-pointing on the cheapest way, but using OEM equivalent parts. Not looking to use any performance parts as of right now. Only thing used I want on the car will be:

-Transmission
-Driveshaft
-5-Speed swap pedal assembly
-Shifter lever and assembly (excluding the bushings)

Narrowing things to a simple list of NEW parts
