Starter / Flywheel help!

[mark247 38]

Hey guys,

Im converting my 1986 325i (date 10/85 ) to manual next weekend. It has the "sport" auto gearbox in it at the moment and I don't know if I am going to have to get a different starter motor or not. The gearbox I am putting into it is supposively out of a prefacelift 320i but it doesnt have the sensors on the bellhousing in it so im guessing its actually out of a facelift. It says 240.0.0130.90 on the inside of the bellhousing so i guess its a Getrag 240, and the flywheel is single mass. All i really want to know is if my original starter motor is going to be compatable with the single mass flywheel?

Thanks for your help guys.

your starter is ok, but you will need to weld a pick up on to the flywheel for the sensors to work

Nope, wont need to, i have pulled the sensors out because Troy and I converted my car to Motronic 1.3. Everything worked out well, but the gearbox ecu doesnt like talking to the engine ecu, so my auto is now in limp mode, hense why i am hurrying up converting it to manual.
