Possible to bolt up a ZF320 to an M20?

[dirty30]

it bolts on, you can re use an M20 flywheel/ clutch/ PP but you will have to get an E36 slave cylinder, E36 pilot bearing and some other stuff

BUT!!

You are in luck because I just pulled a ZF320 out of my 89 325i and have the slave cylinder, shift carrier and trans mount bracket with poly mounts... PM me if you want it and we can work out a price.

Well, if people swap 24v's into their e30 and run a G260, what would YOU think?

(Rules are pressure plate, flywheel, and clutch for the trans go together...)

I was hoping for more specifics, (hopefully from someone who has done it before) before I order $500+ worth of parts.

Hey guys,

Was planning on swapping a Getrag 260 into my Auto E30, but have now discovered that it needs a full clutch kit and then some.


I've got a ZF320 attached to an M52b28 sitting in my garage. It also needs a new clutch kit. Would it be possible to bolt this trans up to my M20b25?

I figure I might as well spend the money on the newer/better trans (with almost 100K less kilometers on it), and I can use it with my M52 if and when I do swap it into my E30.

Has anyone ever done this before? What parts will I need?


Things that immediately come to mind are:
-Transmission crossmember. Does anyone even make one for this application/use?
-ZF320 has a dual-mass flywheel, I'd want to convert to a single mass.
-Starter teeth issues.
-Rear end gearing way too short (3.73)
