Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted April 27, 2013 Hi all, was having a wee look on the lvvta site this morning with regards to cert obligations after a manual conversion. Gearbox substitution  The OE gearbox cross-member has not been heated, cut, or welded; and  the OE gearbox cross-member mounting to the OE body or chassis members is unchanged; and  no replacement gearbox cross-member is used; and  the OE drive-shaft(s) is un-modified; and  no substantial modifications have occurred to the floor or gearbox tunnel area, other than provision for gear-shift mechanism. Assuming I'm not a total retard I take it this tells me on the proviso I use unmodified OEM parts I am not required to have the conversion certified? Only bit I'm a little uncertain with is "no replacement gearbox cross-member is used". The kit I have coming has the relevant cross member - is that gonna cause me any trouble with the man? Have been waiting to do this to the 325i for years, last thing I want is to find it's not legal! Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted April 27, 2013 yes is all legal if you use 100% factory parts for that model and sub model. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted April 27, 2013 Marvellous! It's been donated by another 325i coupe, so no worries there. Really wasn't looking forward to removing the carpets so I could bolt in driveshaft hoops! Ta muchly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
