5 speed conversion kit

Recommended Posts

I have everything needed to convert a prefacelift automatic 318 to 5 speed for sale. Includes gearbox, slave and master cylinders, driveshaft, diff etc. I'm told it has recently been fitted with a new clutch too. Can be test driven at the moment but engine will be coming out soon, so if your interested in test driving the box please be quick $600 ono. Ph 299 7942 or PM me.

Absolutely agree with Andrew here, the box is such a *&&%*& mission to remove and replace that it is NOT worth trying to scrimp on bits that might fail.

Maybe put unreconditioned hydraulic cylinders on if you are short of cash, as they are relatively easy to remove later, but put a new clutch kit (clutch plate, pressure plate and release bearing) and new pilot bearing in to save yourself a lot of hassle and money if the second hand clutch fails!

No. Nothing is of any use to a 320 conversion, except for the master cylinder.

There were Getrag 240's on 320's aswell. Presumably with different bellhousings, but if you consult the online ETK - the majority of manual 320 models list the 'box as either the sport or overdrive version of the getrag 240.

Prob doesn't help here, but I was previously always under the impression that 240's were only used on the 4 cyl. models.
