Hi there,

Does anybody know if it would work to fit an automatic E23 745i with a manual 5 speed transmision coming from an E23 735i? Any experiences?
Many thanks...Afshin

Yes it will work, however the 745i tends to be hard on the 5-speeds, and the gearing doesn't mate well w/ the turbo-turbo lag, at least that is what I hear. I have done the swap on an 87 735i, if you would like more info.

Aaron
