CamB 48 Report post Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) Jonathan (JiB) has a pre-f/l 325i auto, with sport mode. He's also got a manual everything 323i - about a 1985, ex the UK. Today we did the first half of the job. We got the 323i's manual box (and all of the etc) out. It's a Getrag 260. We haven't quite got to removing the auto from the 325i and finishing the swap - we'll give it a go on Sunday. I've got a question about flywheel sensors, etc. Looking down in below the starter, it looks like the 325i might have flywheel sensors. The 260 from the 323i didn't... so, are we in trouble? Unfortunately we ran out of time to check exactly whats on the 325i. Edited February 6, 2008 by CamB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
will 169 Report post Posted February 6, 2008 You are in trouble. If the new box doesn't have place for the sensors, either you will have to get them somehow welded/machined in or you will have to convert the motor to motronic 1.3 that uses a crank pulley sensor.

CamB 48 Report post Posted February 6, 2008 Hmmm, so if the sensors can mount, the flywheel needs to be correct... which it probably won't be (anyone have a pic?)... ... or could try find correct flywheel and box. At least we have the rest of the kit (and a decent clutch - bonus). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
