Keep vids coming informed and "on to it!" Carry on doing what you doing!
Awesome!!! keeping doing this DIY for E46... Its help-me so much!!!
I’m excited I just got all the parts I need except for the front driveshaft lol
What about the computer and harness for an auto to manual conversion?
What about the clutch delay valve? Is it gonna stay or are you removing it? What's your opinion about CDV remove?
Another great video, keep it going!
Hey dude, weighing in all the parts needed for the conversion. What is the total cost for the conversion?
He prices it out if you watched it all. Somewhere between 3k and 4K depending on who does the work and how much preventative maintenance you want to do.
@@soldat2501 1700 in parts.
This will probably go unnoticed but personally I bought an entire car 325i sedan with a blown motor and 6spd trans for $500. That way I didn’t have to worry about forgetting anything or buying parts, it’s going in an 04 325i sport package touring we bought for $900 with a blown torque converter seal (auto transmission was likely toast too being run dry) also bought a new clutch kit+flywheel and main seal
Yeah im stupid so Idk where to even source a manual transmission -__- But I wanna do this
FrnchFriez same
I have a 04 330i auto and manual drive shaft auto rear trying to put manual front but the teeth were they joint aren't going together
I don't know why he doesn't just sell it and buy a manual, but it certainly looks like we'll get some good videos out of this swap.
It's kinda hard to find a manual for less with the color, interior trim etc you're looking for.
@@thumpertorque_ Everything you said, plus the fact that we cannot find a manual variant that hasn't been ragged on.
@@megatronn194 literally bought a pretty clean 2001 330Ci auto, black leather interior, for 1400 bucks last night. No chance would I find one with a manual that cheap lol
@@iMatt246 i bought a 2002 330ci 2door sport coupe for 4 grand its automatic with the tiptronic transmission but i want to convert it to manual
@@dankie3612 I got an 05 325xi manual for 1400 🤣
I recently bought a zf 5 speed transmission for a e46 (328ci manual swap), at the moment all I need is the drive shaft. I've read that I have to get the drive shaft specifically for a zf transmission. Is that true or?
Gog the same car 328ci auto and looking for manual swap . If you have update on your project I would like to know . Thanks
@@TheAlfie4uTV i have been driving my car for about 6 months after the did the swap 👍
ok let me start ordering parts!! great video, thanks!
Kinda wish y’all were still in LA :/ I’m considering swapping the transmission.
Just bought a auto 01 330ci that the trans went out and was removed by shop because the car owner couldn't pay lol so this would be interesting to do 🤔
Hi. What about the rpm. Will it remain at 6500 or with the ecu at to mt switch the rpm will change?
Great video. Is the dme and ews wiring same for a 2001 e39 with ms43? also how about the drive shaft rule of thumb, just change the forward section? thanks
Great work fella just wondering don't the technician is the USA Wear steal toe capped boots iv dropped a box on my toes but luckily it only dropped from a few inches but without them on its broken toes ! Ps when I say box I mean a transmission in England we say gearbox or box for short
Very impressive and well explained video. I liked and subscribed to see more.
How do you deal I think it's a neutral safety switch that doesn't allow the car to start unless it's in park or neutral... We did the switch from auto to 5 speed manual on a 98" 328i convertable & this was something we overlooked... Thanks for any help you can offer & all your useful content...
Im gonna be manual swapping my 03 325xi touring
HELP! I have a manual swapped e46, I tried to get my car inspected by the DMV today and I have engine light on for 4 transmission codes. Do you know how to get them turned off? Should I unplug the auto transmission computer? 🤔🤷🏽♂️
Wanna do this to an x5. Would love a video on how to do this to AWD platform.
The Petrolhead language....😍
i have a 02 330i and looking to do this same project... Problem I see is that I see lots of transmissions but not sure if they will fit my car? Any suggestions what t look for? i was thinking 6 speed or should I just look for 5 speed? Tips?
Is there any video on auto to 6 speed swap? 🤔
I do have a question about leaks under the car?
I have a 2001 330xi with 245k miles leaking oil and drips of antifreeze in the front part of the car.
The car runs good gut I sense that I should get to the source of the leaks before too long.
Any recommendations?
I did the swap thanks to you but I have 1 problem, my car runs on 3k rpm in 5th gear at 120km/h when it used to do 2.5k rpm with the automatic gearbox, can you help me solve this problem?
did you do a video on re-coding modules to get the gear light off... and to get cruise control to work..
inflation dude , sad i could've done this job for around 8-900 barely 6 YEARS ago now from what i've research overall it goes for not less than 1600
For that price just buy a good used manual. Thx for the info and talking me out of a sawp
Can I use the manual transmission form a 330xi for my 330i?
Man I need your help I have a 2001 325xi my motors blown what would be a good replacement to put in
I have a 330xd automatic. I rally like this car and have put a lot of time and money into it to make it feel like new again. Im thinking abot swapping the gearbox since the auto really doesnt give the engine justice. What gearbox can i use? And do i need anything special for the xi or can i ditch the xi and just make it rwd instead? Really doesnt matter as long as its manual..
Hey I got a question for everyone. So I have a 2001 bmw 330ci and I want to swap out the manual 5-speed transmission in it. My question is can I fit a e46 M3 6 speed manual tranny in the 330ci? I’m wondering if it is possible and what parts or kit I will need.
i have a 2001 325ci automatic so i can use the manual parts from a 330 and it will work using half of my old driveshaft ?
I wish you were in South Africa
I have a small question, will the valeo clutch and fly wheel kit fit on a 330i with and m54 3 liter? and obviously a 5 speed zf
some please also replace the differential is it necessary?
Does anyone have a link to that flywheel+ clutch kit?!
2005 bmw 330i m54
Can’t find this kit ANYWHERE
Bay Area, CA
Where’s your shop at? How much would you charge to supply all needed parts and to install?
whats the point in spending 3 grand on that? Dont know bout the US but you can get a really nice e46 for around 2000€ in ireland. I got my Coupe for 1300 but had to get a new engine, all came up to ve just over 2 grand which is pretty cheap. BTW love your videos, everything clearly explained. Just started working on my car when I found your channel so looking forward for more videos! 👌💪
These people are based in USA. North American spec E46s are quite different from euro spec e46s. More importantly, why are you worried about the cost when this isn't your car, not your build, and you're not writing checks on the swap?
I think im going to try this out
bro can a LAND CRUISER 200 diesel auto be converted into a manual?
mannnn 800-900 7 years how much inflation has gone up
Hi I've converted my bmw e46 320i from automatic to manual and everything works fine, but doesn't have Power when driving on hill. So wanted to ask that should I also change the computer box and you a manual computer box?
What wiring is required for the swap, reverse lights ect.?
What transmission should i get? I drive an 04 330ci
Need the BMW e46 part number of the pedal assembly for manual transmision
Do the 323ci and the 323i have the same transmission
How about the procedure for a 1999 328i?
Have a question
I bend the same parts to my 2006 bmw 325i e90
I got a werid problem with my 2000 e46.. Its been sitting for a while while I was waiting to get a new engine for it. Got the engine in car running perfect, changed my steering wheel recently and now when I try to start it the horn keeps going off. Im pretty sure I have everything wired correctly. The new steering wheel is from a facelifted model but all the pins for airbag etc are the same. Can someone help pls
What driveshaft did you use ?
good afternoon, the autopilot was normally normal? thanks!
I have a 2008 bmw M3 e90 Sedan But the front looks like a e92 !! So can I just put M3 92 front end on it!! Even though it’s a sedan M3
does the driveshaft need to be rebalanced if you use the auto half of the driveshaft?
What are you going to school for? I work on bmws as well & going to school. Interested in what you're doing
hey I am going for business
How do you get the cruise control and traction control to work ?
How much does it cost to manual swap it
I got a 2001 330CI automatic and got the p0741 code every now and then when I make longer trips on the highway.. Do you think it's gonna fail on me? Seriously thinking about making a conversion to manual..
What about the wiring that has to be done to convert a E46 from auto to manual..?
there's not much to do
Can you please advise me what parts I need to get to convert my e46 318ti to manual. Will a normal e46 sedan Tranny and shaft work?
Can you make a parts list with links? I know that sounds like a lot lol
Did your check engine lights come on after the swap ?? Mine is throwing a transmission module code
Hey man I'm looking at a e46 320i I was wondering which manual gearbox would I need cant seem to find exactly which box I need
Where to buy BMW E46 Geniune parts?
Hello, I have a question, I can’t seem to find an answer online, can a 2004 325i manual tranny fit my 2001 325i?
Hi, great video! Is it possible to swap automatic transmission for Manual in 2015 BMW 435xi? I haven’t seen anything on never bimmers online.
Do u ve to change the diff too
I am considering doing this swap on my 1999 323i. I have found a 5 speed manual transmission from an 1998 328i; I was wondering if you know if this would be compatible with my car.
what about the 2003 330ci?
cause i have an auto that i want to convert to manual. what will i need to purchase? thanks!
Are these the same with e39?
Are the driveshaft different on coupes and sedans
No, driveshafts are different between models like 323/325 and 328/330.
Thank you very much!!!
does it matter which transmission you get to convert? for example, can you get a zf from a 325i to put in a 330i?
Is the process the same for a 2004 325ci? I've heard the wiring is different?
Would this be the same for 325i non m smg to manual
Pricing at 6:00
Thanks
what about the wiring is it the same ???!!!
Bom dia , Me chamo Arthur, sou do Brasil, e tenho uma E39 528i touring 1998 chassi BX33999 transmissão automática, por gentileza você teria alguma sugestão de Conversão de Transmissão dessa série 6cc em linha
Is this the same for uk models?
I am interested in doing a manual swap on a 2 series xdrive possibly taking parts from a 4 series - do you think this is viable?
Do u also need to swap the clusters or its all thesame? Thanks
My friend ,have a question? Its posible to chance my automátic transmition in my x3 2005 , and put One manual Trasmition of X5 2002?
Please Help
Would the front part of the driveshaft out of an e46 m3 work for my 330 swap? I know it's a 6 speed but I only plan on going with the 5sp tranny. Please lmk.
Btw this video was VERY helpful. Thanks!!!
Can you get me part number of chlutch lines please
so how much would it take to swap?
Did you go to UTI?
Then its possible to out this on the new supra too!
Which is better in E46 a manual or automatic transmission?
Honestly the zf auto trans is really fun but it still ain’t no manual
How you make the driveshaft using only the the front section?
You join them through the u-joints?
do you join them through the joints?
Please help me and sorry for my english
yes use the front section of the manual driveshaft and attach it to the automatic one
Isnt it cheaper just buying a manuel?
How much would it be to change that
auto box rear dif and manual diff have diferent drive final ratios
ImTheDud3 not true entirely, some manual transmission works better with 3.46 from automatic
I have a 3.46. Its great.
If I swap my e46 330i from automatic to a 6 speed manual, will the car pass a smog check? And will it throw any codes? Any one know?
I would be surprised if a code popped up from any of this unless a wire gets knocked loose or something.
Meu interesse é fazer a troca do automático para o manual
It is the same or almost the same for e36s?
