New Member E30 Question

[JamesE30BMW]

Hi,

I am new to this site and would like some help and advice which I feel sure you will be able to provide. I have an original 1983 E30 318 n/a which was fitted with a 4 speed gearbox as standard at the time of manufacture. I would like to remove this and upgrade and install a 5 speed gearbox to the car. (1) is this possible and (2) with which gearbox (3) will a later gearbox from and 88 to 94 318i model fit and if not what do I need to fit additionally to make this happen?

Any help or advice would be very welcome.

Thanks,

James.

It is possible i think but the box, gear linkage and prop has to be changed.....and it has to be from a e30 318 up to 1987, not later......... i hope this helps a little.. :)
