E30stz 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2006 I think parts wise you might be able to get the gearbox conversion kit for under about $1400 then add labour costs onto that and new parts. Possibly looking at $3k all up. I believe SD European will sell you one and provide installation and a limited warranty for between 2-3k. But dont quote me on that.
