[QUOTE="Roberto, post: 708114, member: 8160"] Hi Siffus, I have a problem. E34 with a non vanos wiring harness and non vanos Zf 5hp18 gearbox. It has the "small socket" 14 pin plug. It is kaput. I'm looking at changing to a good used 5hp18 but this one came out of a vanos car. It has the "large socket", and a different transmission ecu and different pin locations. However, it is a good transmission. I've put in the ecu from the new transmission in my car and the gbox goes into limp mode immediately. Only reverse, park, neutral and third gear. Switch the ecus back and the gearbox is fine. Is there a way to get the later gearbox to fit my earlier car without much problem? Has anyone done this before ? Thanks.
