Looking for someone in the New England area who will do an Auto To Manual Conversion. car is a 1992 325is. If anyone does this, or knows of someone please let me know. Also a Ball park figure on a price would be great. Parts purchased by me, or through the installer... doesn't matter to me. Thanks everyone.

Something like that will cost around $600-800 in parts, $600 in labor. Better to sell the car and get a manual, if at all possible.

are you sre it's a 1994? or a 328?

Prices differ alittle between each year (ODBI/ ODBII)

I do yours when I am done mine!

Whoops, typo. sorry I means to say it's a 325Is. 1992. Yeah I could sell it but I love the car, and I dont want to sell it. With the work done to it, it would cost more to sell it and get a 5 speed and then do all the same work. You know what I mean?

I have a complete 1994 convertible 5 speed that i was going to take and match to my car but if I can sell it and get all of the correct 328 stuff it might work well for both of us.

I dont follow? You want to make your car a 5 speed? But youd rather sell the stuff you have to get the correct 328 manual parts?

Anyone done this before? Looking for parts prices, and or Labor as well... thanks.

Starting in 96, the E36 received a different manual transmission than the 1992-95 cars.

1992-1995 325i: Getrag 250

1996-1999 328i/s, ic, M3: ZF 320

The gearing is nearly the same, but the ZF is generally known to be able to take more power. It has a larger diameter flex disc (96mm vs 78mm) and was paired with a larger flywheel (240mm vs 228mm). In ordinary, everyday driving, this makes no difference.

Since he has the parts from a 94 325i, that means that he has the parts that originally came in the manual version of your car.

I see. I didn't know they changed Transmissions. In any case, my plans for the vehicle don't include anything requiring a beefier transmission. And if it were the case, I'd just swap in a 6 speed. So that seems like a good deal then, since we'll both walk away with what we need/want.

What trans is in 92-95 e36's besides the 325? Ie, is the 95 m3 trans the getrag 250 or a different getrag?

The 95 M3 trans is a ZF 310, which is very similar to the later ZF 320. I'm fairly certain it's a drop-in replacement for a ZF 320, as the output flange is the same diameter, slave cylinder should be the same, input shaft is the same length, bellhousing is the same pattern, etc.

this is correct. i have everything for a pre 1995 325 manual swap!

Pm me if you would like to set something up!
