      Cheers Marios, I hope this and subsequent videos will be useful to you. Theres something important I didnt mention in this video, which is the shifter linkage etc. I don't think I will be able to use the one I have without shortening it or the gear lever will be too far back. But I have a plan for that. I either chop the one I have or I get one from a 320i which should be shorter. 😃 I will detail that when I get to that stage in a video.
      Also the prop shaft, there's a specific one to use with this setup so I will confirm that too and mention any other options.
      Engine going in next though!!!

    Yep. I did the superglue trick on my first clutch swap. Unfortunately it was on a 1.2 Clio that didn’t have the power to break the bond 😂

    Some time ago we tried the superglue clutch aligment with the cheapest glue on an E60 V8. Worked too well, the car started moving with the pressed out clutch in first gear. We removed the gearbox in the end cause we think we made a mistake. Had to scrape the disk from the pressure plate. If I dont see with my 2 eyes I wouldn't believe it.😀😀
    I planed to use a 6 speed box from an e90 316i on my 318IS E36 so i can use a 4.xx diff with moderate rpm.

    It'll feel like a little rocket ship with the 4.27 FD! From previous experience I would recommend ditching the vibration dampener that's bolted to the guibo on the 'box output shaft. For me (e36) it ended up fouling the selector rod for the shifter and just generally made working in that area and fitting the shifter parts a nightmare because of how big and bulky it is. I also noticed no increase in vibration after removing it so don't really know why it's there? Would make sense on a diesel I suppose but the M52 is silky smooth.

    • @SPANNERRASH
      @SPANNERRASH  Рік тому +1

      Yeah we will see how it behaves, probably a bit too aggressive but I'm not sure yet! 😆 Interesting what you say about the vibration dampener, I will make a judgement on that when I come to fit the prop shaft. I might try with first and then without to see if it makes any difference on my car. Cheers!

      Hi mate, really tough to say until I have the car on the road. I've got a 4.27 on the car which I'm planning to start with. But I'm 99% sure it will be ridiculously short and unbearable on the motorway.
      I'm expecting to want something in the 3's. Probably a 3.39 or similar.
      There's more than likely a way to calculate the engine speed with a gear ratio and final drive combo, but I'm gonna run what I've got at first and see what happens.
      I'm kind of excited for the surprise. 😆
      Not looking forward to finding/buying the right limited slip diff though, as they are silly expensive now.

  • @billtimmer2462
    @billtimmer2462 11 місяців тому +1

    I wonder what your flywheel looked like before you had it machined, and if it is really necessary to do. I have just taken the M20B27 out of my 87 325E and removed the transmission and there is no difference between the clearance on the back of the M20 vs M52. My car has the dual mass flywheel, and the crankshaft mating surface sticks out a few mm beyond the rest of the flywheel. Also, the back side of mine is already totally flush with the outer teeth, just like yours does in the video. I wonder if this is the difference between the early single mass vs the late model dual mass as I have in my car.

    • @SPANNERRASH
      @SPANNERRASH  11 місяців тому

      In the video there was more clearance than I expected after machining, some people do say that you can use a spacer instead to get enough clearance. Without either machining or a spacer though, the flywheel would clash with the engine I'm quite sure.
      Interesting what you say about late model 325e with dual mass flywheel. To be honest I've never seen one of these, I didn't know that dual mass type existed.
      I'd be very hard to say without comparing them side by side.

      Awesome the '84 E30 sounds like an awesome project, I actually really like the pre-facelift look. Also if you were in the UK your car would be about to be MOT and Tax exempt as a classic.
      I used the standard M20 release bearing and there are no issues from that perspective since I did that.
      There shouldn't be a bearing in the flywheel itself, but there is one in the crank hub on the engine which the nose of the gearbox slots into. You will need to change this (to 12mm I think, but measure the gearbox to confirm).
      Mine was already changed to one which fits the 318is gearbox because the M52 engine had been used in an E30 swap. I forgot to clarify that in the vid!

      Hmm I would be surprised if it did as they are different generation. However, I've never even seen an M10 transmission so I'm really unsure.
      Maybe someone who knows can add a comment. 😃

      Nice, I am looking for a medium case limited slip diff around that for my build, which should be optimal for me.
      For you however, as you are using the ZF 5-speed, you will want a shorter diff close to 3.00 in ratio depending on how you like it.

      @@SPANNERRASH before i used getrag 240 ist faster than zf , for drift for rpm . But zf is long and for autobahn . This is ny experince . I think with gametrag 3.46 will be better . Lsd .

    whats the diameter on your clutch disc btw?

      @SPANNERRASH  8 місяців тому

      thats very hard for me to tell you since it's fitted! 😆 It's a standard Sachs clutch disc from an E30 325i

    why make it so complicated? just use a small e36/e39 gearbox (getrag) and clutch and a 320i driveshaft (78mm boltcircle) with an 3.07 diff from an 323ti. works very good for me with an m52b25

      Interesting Patrick, which Getrag box is on the E36/E39?
      I reckon finding that diff and swapping E30 flanges on is more involved than what I'm planning to do though.

      I think the manual gearboxes on the e36s for euro markets are g220’s

      is the driveshaft from an sedan or cupe? i have a cupe and i'm wondering what i need. and how did you bolt up the transmission?

    • @patrickneuhaus117
      @patrickneuhaus117 Рік тому +1

      @SnowBlazeKongen Coupe Touring and sedan with same engines have the same driveshafts since they have the same wheelbase. Just the bearing carrier in the middle is different between facelift and prefacelift, but you can swap those pretty easy (a new one is cheap and not a bad idea anyway I guess). The distance of the boltholes is 1cm different 14 and 13cm if I recall correctly.
      Original E30 transmission brackets with bushings fit E36/E39 transmissions (except some very rare early ones... Sportboxes and so on)
      @SPANNERRASH
      According to the parts catalogue it's a S5G 250G TAJT. Pretty same as E36 with an ratio of 1:1 in 5. gear (hence the longer diff as most E30 have 0.81) came in an '97 523i.
      I've heard rumors about different flanges on compact and E30 diffs but never had a missmatch so far. The flanges for the axles just pop out, no messing around with bearings. I've changed the ones from the original 318i in the 323ti diff to check for different distance and I could not find a difference.
