1990 E34 530i 4hp22 trans question

[Deano 1]

This car as a faulty trans...probably bad clutch pack from what Ive read.

Question is will a 4hp22 from a 1990 E30 325i fit?

E30 trans has a 3 bolt output flange and a 2 pin plug on the side.

Thanks

No, the E34 has a M30 motor, the E30 is a M20, different bolt pattern amongst other things, output flange etc.

I was hoping to swap the bell housing and it would fit. So the 530 will have a 4 bolt output flange? Could that be swapped.

I have the good trans and can pick up the 530i for nicks

The 530 has a larger 3 bolt flange, I'm pretty sure the box is too different, but Brent or Marty will know.

Hi,

Is it the 1990 530 V8 you are refering to? If so I have an autobox taken off an M60 engine. Was working well at the time, though it has done high k's (replaced with a manual conversion).

Let me know if it could be of use.

1990 will still be the M30 engine I think Grant, M60 came in 1992.
