Message: <blockquote data-quote="snchin" data-source="post: 60917" data-attributes="member: 249">i'm on the final leg of my conversion from auto to manual.A few things you want to take note.1. MAKE SURE you have the CORRECT long shaft!!!!!! I cannot emphasise this enough.....Get it balanced as well. 2. make sure the rear diff is at least 3.15. U can opt for 2.93 as well if you want. However, this will give you less torque. 3.  There are actually 2 types of gear box for the 325 manual . One of them is the same as the one used on the 328 manual. The 328 uses a 2.93 diff where as the 325 uses 3.15. 4.The 2 gearboxes i mentioned in point 2 also uses different clutches. Dont skimp on this item if u find that the clutch that comes with the box is not in good condition. No point taking the gearbox apart to change the clutch 2 months down the road when you find it slipping.5. There is a clutch return spring that the chop shop might not provide as it's very hard to come by. Unless of course you managed to get a half cut. You might need your mechanic to specially order it for you. Get your chop shop to absorb the cost <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />These are what i can think of. Anybody care to add on. Please take note that all info I provide are through experience <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Dont hold me responsible ya......All the best to everyone!!!!</blockquote>
