Is it your daily driver? Is there anythign wrong with the slushbox in your car now? Nof not, you'll be much better money ahead in selling your car and buying one that's already a 5 speed. You'll spend a ton of time and money to convert, when you can simply buy the same thign already done for prolly around the sae as your car is worth.

Are you looking for links.. Or are you looking for a kit? The nice thing is that the transmissions for E30s are cheap, and if you can do a clutch change on a car, than this is not much harder.

Here is a link:

i was trying to find the kit again cause that way i know all the parts are new and i dont have to search around for them

[kendogg]

Somebody actually makes a kit with all new parts to swap a 5 speed into your car? IDK, dude, I really think it'd cost more money than the car's worth. I mean, you've got to worry about consol, pedal sets, hydraulics retrofitting, swapping driveshafts, tranny mounts, clutch/pp/flywheel, etc. It's NOT an easy job. I'm not trying to discourage you (well, actually, yes I am), but do you really think this car is worth THAT much money? I mean, at least think about this part - How much is the car worth? Could you buy an equivelant 5 speed car for the same price you could sell your auto car for?

[live~sideway]

im not exactly sure what you tried to say but im its offering a chance on a tranny umm i might be depending on some price cause i got a volkwagon bus engine in the shop right now so maybe

[ECM Carl]

i said i know of a tranny from a 86 325 that will be of any help?

like what kinda a mileage and how much they askin for it

[JeremyE30]

call strictly german 7066549103 They are located in Braselton a couple of miles past Road Atlanta. They have more e30 parts than you will ever find anywhere. Sometimes their quotes on the phone are high but if you go there you'll get a good price. I honestly don't think that a full used kit would be worth more than $500.

Also check out r3vlimited.com for tons of information about the e30
