Yungbuck 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2019 I'm doing a manual conversion on a 1997 323i and I'm not 100% sure which drive shaft and diff will fit my getrag220 box? Anyone know? Tips would be helpful as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackie 510 Report post Posted May 4, 2019 I suspect you'll need a manual front driveshaft which is longer than the auto ones. Leave the back half alone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz 1062 Report post Posted May 5, 2019 Get a getrag 220 manual one. Don't mess around with swapping front halfs around as the rear sections are all the same length. I think manual ones are different depending on the gearbox, a realoem check will confirm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdotmac 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2019 Did the same swap, Brett at BMW World sorted me out for a manual front half. If you go private check the front coupling size - the getrags are smaller, ZFs larger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
