Hi I need to know if a manual transmission from a 1983 bmw 320 would work for a 1983 bmw 528? im currently restoring a 1983 bmw 528 and would like to convert it from a auto trans to a manual transmission. I found a 1983 bmw 320 really cheap, and would like to know if this would work. your help is trully appreciated.I would like to know if a manual transmission from a 1983 bmw 320 would work for a 1983 bmw 528?No it wont work. The bolt pattern is different and the bell housing is part of the transmission case. It is not separate.I would like to know if a manual transmission from a 1983 bmw 320 would work for a 1983 bmw 528?The gearboxes are sometimes interchangeable but only if the bellhousing can be detached.

Some Getrag boxes are all one piece and the bolt pattern is different between the 2 engines.



But then you still need to source the correct bellhousing, flywheel, tailshaft and pedal box.

You'd be better off finding a 528 for parts.
