E28 535i auto to manual conversion

[darylchan]

Hi guys. Can anyone here shed some light on the cost involved to convert an E28 535i from auto to manual? Are the parts needed readily available?

redbaron: i'm considering buying over your 'twin' car. but i'm a manual driver and i think always will be lah. as long as i have a functioning left leg.

Why is it up for sale is it?

 

[darylchan]

Yes. Already viewed the car. It certainly is in excellent shape.
Back to the topic, anyone can hook me up with the above conversion kit?

I have the full set ; engine + wiring + Getrag 260/6 + relatively new clutch plate + long shaft + other bits of pieces.. Came out from my E34 535 approx 2 months ago. No pedals though.

Getrag 260/6 is the original gbox for 3.5 M30 engine. However, you can use other Getrag 260 series - but with minor modifications esp on the housing area. That will be cheaper to do - not to mention a 'softer' clutch pedal. U might need to change your rear diff to compensate the diff gear ratio that you are running.
