Pretty sure I may have accidentally posted this in the wrong place earlier, so reposting in here (Sorry Mods)
I'm sure this question has been asked/answered somewhere, but I'm new to E30's and clearly this forum, so I haven't found it.. lol
Anyhow, I just got my '84 318i from up north. Its been sitting for about a year and a half, so my step father looked at it for me before I flew up to drive it down and replaced the clutch master and slave cylinders. On the drive down however, the bleed valve on the slave was either not tightened well enough or vibrated loose and caused pressure loss. So I stopped and bled the line again and retightened the valve and got back underway. About an hour later, after stopping for fuel, the trans wouldn't shift into 2nd or 3rd gear (and would pop out in the event it did get into gear). So clearly something went wrong, but I want to get her back on the road ASAP, so considering just replacing the trans altogether and putting the current one on the bench.. SO...
Question: What transmissions will bolt up to the 4cyl in the 318 and which cars do they come out of?
Any help is appreciated :D
