400 for the prop sounds reasonable against getting a second hand one and then getting it machined to fit. Great job!

From memory, 4.0 flywheels have T60 Torx and 3.0 V8 are T55. What I do know is, they can be an absolute bastard to get out when removing a flywheel. Before I bought my 840Ci 22 years ago, I drove a 4.0 manual and didn't like it at all. The Steptronic ZF 5HP seemed to suit the old tank better :-) Yes, there is a special 'waisted' socket you can buy from BMW.

A friend of mine is really pushing me to do this to my 840ci. I’m torn as I find the Auto a little indecisive sometimes and would love a manual. But on the other hand I feel that I ought to be keeping the car to original spec!

@@The777Garage Actually, have a question for you guys. I'm currently looking around for an 850i/Ci project. I've come across a vehicle without a transmission. Is anything required from the original transmission to do a 6 speed manual swap or can the manual trans (such as the Getrag that is used in these applications) bolt in without the use of something like the bellhousing from the 850i's original, automatic trans? Also curious, why is the swap to an E32 diff required? Looking forward to your response, thanks!

@davidt.6415 2 жыл бұрын

Good job on the swap! My 8 took me 2 weeks to finish. But 6 months of slowly collecting the necessary parts. What made it so long for me was the prop shaft as well, had to get mine lengthened. I did run a 3.64 rear end, but it was not enjoyable. So I swapped it with a 3.15 lsd out of an e32, and it is perfect in my opinion.

@filaestrada4892 2 жыл бұрын

How long did you have the prop shaft extended by?

@davidt.6415 2 жыл бұрын

@fila estrada 6" for the front shaft. If you are thinking of doing this, it's best to measure the length needed after installing the manual transmission in the car.

Whenever I buy parts from the BMW dealer the parts guys don’t really know what’s needed. I have to give them a shopping list of parts with the numbers. Can’t imagine the dealership coming up with the list of parts needed for a manual conversion.

did this job on my steptronic 5hp30, recently, and the prop was 150mm extended. my e31 pedal box didn't have the small damper mount behind the clutch pedal blank area, so I changed out the whole pedal box, and it was a complete nightmare! took all day just changing that out! I mounted the e39 remote master cylinder next to the strut tower. to keep it short. I currently still have the inhibitor switch connected, in neutral position, strapped underneath the car. I want this 'built out', and the trans fail safe error removed.... did you do any coding to make it think its a manual?? car is a true GT drivers' car now... love the drive. great vid! p.s. that car has some serious exhaust drone!

Hi! Yeah exhaust quite loud.. Transmission failsafe message still there..not sure how to get rid of it??! Ive tried mapped ecu from my e36 V8 as same engine..only thing i felt higher rpm and thats it ..otherwise behaved same as stock ecu

@@The777Garage as said I’m on later ecu, so still researching. Hope to find solution. There’s a how to on bimmerforums, for the early models and you just ground a brown wire in the tunnel area, and it’s fixed. Looks like that exhaust is missing it’s cats too! Do,you have another lsd diff for sale? Or did the owner supply it?

What differential ratio and from what vehicle did you use? Why the large difference in length for the prop shaft? 100 - 150mm?

@johnboyairey 2 жыл бұрын

@@filaestrada4892 that was the gap, as the auto gearbox in my model was longer, (5hp30) so the manual gearbox, -being a lot shorter, needed a 150mm longer prop shaft. Diff is still stock, that is on the list.
