4 speed or 5 speed tranny

[deekin72]

I have a 1972 manual 4 speed that needs a new tranny. The car is stock now, but I would love to get a 5 speed for the right price.

I am a newbie to the '02 world so go easy on me.

4 speed is cheap and you can do the swap in a day. Good 4 speeds run under $100. Dont pay more than that! 5 speed is much more work and time. Do research first. 5 speed conversions can run from $700-1500 depending on condition. Figure out what you want to do, how much your willing to spend, and how long you want the car to be off the road. Sweet original looking ride though!!! Looks great

I also have a 4spd. $100 + shipping from zip 92821 or Greyhound Bus from Anahiem, CA

I would really love to do the 5 speed conversion. I have around $1000 to get this done. I have someone lined up to do the install for $400. So if I can find a tranny and the parts to do the conversion for around $700 I think I could swing it.

I would be stoked to find someone who has a tranny and all the parts needed.

Transmission seals kit

Shifter rebuild kit

New six- or eight-bolt guibo with new nuts and bolts

Center bearing

Exhaust flex-sealing ring

Clutch kit (including e21 323 throwout bearing)

New copper exhaust downpipe nuts (3 of them)

Downpipe gasket

Slave cylinder

Slave cylinder extension hose

New set of flywheel/pressure plate bolts

etc...

Do you know the miles on it?

Is it factory? Tell me more.

Do you have an idea about shipping costs to the Bay?

thanks

[tonybeemer]

the miles were around 118xxx as far as factory its a stock 5 speed tranny out a 1980 320i the motor was blown the tranny goes through all gears and shippingi have no clue.. email me if you like tnytoka@yahoo.com

you will need to switch and swap parts to put the 5 sp in the drive shaft ? think you use an auto trans front half ? something like that tony

auto trans 3 bolt flange on the drive shaft is larger than e21 3 bolt flange. I wish you lived closer, I have all of the 5 speed parts here pretty cheap, but by the time it was shipped out there it would be pretty expensive. Good luck with your project!
