Paragon 14 Report post Posted February 5, 2015 get a facelift front pulley and move the crank sensor to the front ? Gives you a lot more options, there are very few manual pre facelift 325i's out there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paragon 14 Report post Posted February 5, 2015 Looks expensive for an E30, and the E36s sit at a different angle. A G260 that was used on E30s would be a better bet. I have one for sale that is for a facelift E30 which had the crank sensor on the front pulley. The pre facelifts had the sensor mounted in the bellhousing and some kind of trigger on the flywheel. There s a bit more to the conversion than just a gearbox. Stick with E30 parts to simplify it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffbebe 1560 Report post Posted February 5, 2015 The gearbox in that auction is a 420g (E39 M5) but he said he had another 265g... No idea what he wants for it though or what car it was from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delema00 1 Report post Posted February 8, 2015 Hi. . . Thanks for the info. . . . Will research them both , would love to keep it simple and just use e30 parts. . Might even look at a engine conversion if I have no joy. . Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TooManyCars 7 Report post Posted February 8, 2015 I had a similar project last year: a PFL 325 auto that I converted to a manual. I converted the engine from Motronic 1.0 to 1.3 which allowed me to get rid of the bellhousing sensors, among other things. It was pretty straightforward. E30zone has a page that tells you everything you need to know about it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
