5 speed swap Q's

[Timmyboy]

I have a 1987 325i auto.
I bought a 1988 325is transmission and etc. EXCEPT driveshaft.
I may buy a 1989 325i driveshaft.

Will all of this go together well? I heard the output flange on some transmissions are different than others, i planned on reusing my auto guibo since i assume it would fit on the new transmisson. Its a G260 transmission so i assumed any E30 manual driveshaft will do. Am i wrong? I searched but found no clear answer! I am going crazy over this confusion!:drink:

You can use the drive shaft from any 325e/es or 325i/is/ic manual car. Depending on what year car the drive shaft comes from you may to change the Center Support Bearing to the late style part.
