my gearbox is from 328, longshaft from e34 manual.

Bro,

ok, let's see...some loose parts from forumer + workshop parts, labour - autobox and parts sold = < 6k

actually if got jalan to get the complete kit from UK wreckers, it will be cheaper still...y didnt i think of that...

do you mind sharing where you found a manual longshaft? i assume it is from a m50 e34 manual.
been trying to convert my m20 e34 manual to m50 manual but having trouble finding the longshaft.

Cheers!
