Manual Swap

[rominun]

Looking to do a manual transmission swap for my 135i and I want to see if anyone has a parts car from which they can sell me their drivetrain. Thanks.

Guud lauckkkugh (schwarzennger voice) me n my cuzins say this to each other when we want to attempt things we cant or probably shoudnt do. haha. not sayin it cant be done but its probably so f*kn not worth it

I agree, but my transmission keeps jerking and slipping so I'm going to need a new one soon. Also, my car has 145k miles and I bought it from a salvage auction, so it has very little value compared to other 135s. I would definitively trade if someone wanted too xD

best bet go buy a used trans from a mnother salvaged 135i. Mine was slipping too luckily i wqs on ny last week of CPO coverage and they paid for it to the tune of 9,800. Now im hearing that the trans price went down ans they charge 4.5k for a new/remanufactured transmission which honestly is a little expensive but you would be problem free for a very long time. Thats the exepnsive route, im pretty sure you can find a used unit in fair condition with 6 months warranty for 1500-2k tops.

Yes, actually a member has a part out for the entire swap that's around that ballpark. Thanks for the reply
