323i manual conversion

Recommended Posts

I'm doing a manual conversion on a 1997 323i and I'm not 100% sure which drive shaft and diff will fit my getrag220 box? Anyone know? Tips would be helpful as well

I suspect you'll need a manual front driveshaft which is longer than the auto ones. Leave the back half alone.

Get a getrag 220 manual one. Don't mess around with swapping front halfs around as the rear sections are all the same length. I think manual ones are different depending on the gearbox, a realoem check will confirm

Did the same swap, Brett at BMW World sorted me out for a manual front half. 

If you go private check the front coupling size - the getrags are smaller, ZFs larger.
