Thanks..sent him a message E12s are rare now can't remember the last time I saw one..always liked them.

From an old sideloader type diff found in the early 5 series - need couple of output flanges

Do you mean the one on the outside? If so I must have one in the shed somewhere..but they are not cheap

I sense your sarcasm and "nice build", well...

Got all those text sent

Anyone have any surplus to requirements before I order from wherever. Std rings, bearings, head bolts, rod bolts etc. Have all the gaskets and seals

Looking at bringing in some M20 engine parts..piston rings, bearings etc Have used Rock Auto.com in the past and they are pretty good but interested to know of some other suppliers Cheers

Looking at the build thread the paint alone would have been many thousands plus all the other bits..

FYI: In the end bought a complete trans from 89 525i. It was an EH so had the same electrical connection on the side which means it has the same valve body assembly and that being version E7 5 solenoid type. The only difference was the gear stick connection was on the drivers side as opposed to left side. This can be made to work for the E30 but the other way ie E30 trans to 525i would have to be drilled as on the E30 trans there is no hole for the rhs gear select shaft. Few other things to check when looking at 4HP22s is size of the toque converters as apparently 3 different sizes and the output flange can be 3 bolt or 4 bolt. So the problem turned out to be the MV5 solenoid which is the main pressure control valve which explains why there was no drive at all, no pump pressure. Here is the tech guide ZF_20Tech_20Guide.pdf

Anyone have them lying around taking up space and in the way from a recent replacement or manual conversion? I can collect for free!! Looking for a few specific parts namely MV5 main line pressure control solenoid and some other bits..

I'll take a pair of the yellow film for headlights PM or text 021 230 4284 Cheers Dean

I know manual is the preferred option but the question was: Will the later hydraulic auto (4hp22) work in the E30s with the 4hp22eh electronic boxes? Anyone?

The trans I have thats failed is in 1987 325 and has the sport mode switch. Was looking at a trans from 1990 model without the sport mode switch so not an "older" type..

Hate to say it but it looks a little Japanese...but i like it

Do you know if you can use the later "non electronic" box to replace the 4HP22EH electronic?

PM sent.

Hi Charles! Im not sure that one will work as the car I have has the electronic type with the sport mode switch. I'm investigating it now. Other option is to put the good clutch pack from yours into mine. How much do you want for it..cheers
