Recommended Posts

Recently bout a 318 gearbox to convert my 97 323i drift project to a manual I'm trying to find out which flywheel and clutch would fit? Any ideas?

Keep in mind that the shifter linkages are different between 4 and 6 cylinder cars

If an auto check the cooling set up on the radiator they are different to a manual I believe.

Yep, 4cyl ones are longer. From memory, you can cut *I think* 32mm from the linkages and reweld back together to make them work if you're doing it on an extreme budget. It may be 35mm, it's around that though.

Na auto and manual are the same for the water hoses. Some of the older 36's had trans cooler lines go into the side of the radiator, others have a separate cooler at the front. Either way, you don't need to change the radiator, it won't leak if the trans lines aren't hooked up.

Ah I see different set up from an e46 great makes life a little easier when doing the conversion best of luck and enjoy the 3 pedal experience.
