    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:

    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?
