The Official Auto-to-Manual Transmission Swap Thread
You read it correctly! This is going to be the "official" thread with any and all information needed for this swap.
So if you've done it or know about it, please chime in. I'll update this first post with all the new and relevant information. If any of this info is wrong, please let me know what I need to change.
Also, how long should it take in labor hours? I've been quoted a max of four, another 10-12, and then 20 hours! At $65/hr that's getting up there...
Parts List (So far...with cheapest prices I've found)
Key: BZ-Bimmerzone Z-Zionsville
manual transmission (used prices vary)
driveshaft (manual tranny specific) (Z- $195 used)
master/slave cylinders (BZ-$96.71; $48.63)
lines needed between manual and slave cylinders
linkage parts (specifics anyone?)
clutch pedal/new pedal cluster
shift ****/shifter
clutch kit (includes what? there are two different types, one w/ A/C and one w/o A/C?)
flywheel
drive shaft bearing ? (mentioned in another thread)
--- BZ has a Driveshaft Bushing for $8.46 --- same thing?
rear main seal? (mentioned in another thread)
differential? (if so, what differential do I need?)
Thanks!
