need some help please guys.

What parts do i need when buying the kit? iv been looking around but not much out there.

[Ben 0]

pedal, master and slave cylinder with hydraulic lines, clutch, flywheel, release bearing,

gear box and may also need the cross member and driveshaft.

I havent done a manual conv. on a bmw before but if they are similar to a nissan youll need to wire up

the inhibitor switch and sort the reverse light switch aswell.

If Ive missed anything im sure another member will fill in the blanks

Pretty much plus a few things.

Gearbox with mounts

Shifter setup

Driveshaft

Clutch setup

Flywheel

Release Bearing

Pilot Bearing

Master and slave cylinders plus clutch line

Clutch Resivour

Pedal box

Yeah, you need the pedalbox, or just the bolt with the clutch and brake pedals on it, easiest just to change the bolt and pedals rather than take the whole box out.

Master and slave cylinders with resevoir and clutch lines, gearbox with linkage on the back and the support arm, either the ali one or the pressed plate, depending on how old the box is. Gear stick driveshaft and gearbox support bracket make up the rest, also may have to lok at matching a diff with the right ratio, autos and manuals have different gear ratios.

Then just sort the auto inhibitor, join 2 wires together, plug in the reverse lights and off you go.

Make sure you get the right box as well, they are different between the 318s and 320s.

Really?

I thought 316i, 318i, 320i use the same

and 325i, 328i and m3 share the same

Owners manual says 325i has different gbox ratios to the

smaller engines which share their own set of ratios.

Can anyone share the facts?

None of that makes sense.

e36 conversions dont come up that often.

Unlike e30s people just dont have them lying around.

If you can get one for $1k I'd grab it-I doubt if you'll find one cheaper.

(And then add $600+) for the instal

I know i know.

Im only 17 so not mad of money YET =D

[dirtydoogle 383]

If I found a conversion kit for mine at $1000 I think you would have to shoot me to stop me buying it. That's ridiculously cheap.

[1rotty 40]

Good timing on the TM deal -good luck with it.

PS Jokes aside you'd do well to talk to Josh.

I think my last post was taken the wrong way, I was trying to throw some humour in the thread, for the record - I don't want to be responsible for ruining your car (which will happen if I come near it)

I Got it =D My brother worked at Bmw for 3 years i might get one of his work mates to do it but i dont know.

also about that dude with buying that lot thats just the box and motor so you need to buy the rest.

[joshnz 2]

If you do buy a kit and need someone to install it PROPERLY, my mechanic and his guys have been in the game a long time, I'll have a talk to them tomorrow.
