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

long shot maybe

but mine fell off last night ffs!

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

1000 hp via 235's no less

Nice build

WOW!

hey guys,

had a wee prang a few weeks back and the panelbeater has come up completely empty looking for parts through their channels, so just wanted to throw it out there and see if someone might have this stuff laying around. twin headlight grill needed.

let me see what you've got.

cell is 021 826 966 if you want to give me a buzz directly.

cheers!

heath.

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

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?

why would you want to despec teh car by doing that

the eh type is upspeced thing and they work much better at changing gears than the basic low spec kick down cable type of trans .

why do you think all the newer bmw's use a sports ,ecno ,manual switch on there trans.

, but yes you could fit one of the older basic type ones in there , just as long as you get the kick down cable and brackets etc to hook upto the throttle body etc

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

have both options , if you get stuck

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

I have an Electronic type in an E30. Which I no longer need, working absolutely fine, 170,000km.

But it's in Dunedin. and still in the car.

PM sent.

Do you need an EH? My E30 has an EH with sports mode and other bs, and the M20 is being removed for an M52.. so I won't be needing it.

I can sell you the one from the BMW I got from you?

Still works fine, but doing manual conversion

Its out of the car and ready to go, can throw in the automatic Driveshaft too.

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

Looking for good auto trans, pref Chch, but can do Welly

Cheers
