e53 3.0D manual Gearbox...

Post by Steamyrotter » Sun Jul 17, 2011 12:13 am

Hi

Anyone know which manual gearboxes fit the E53 3.0D??
Seriously considering a swap out as looking the more financially viable option at present!!!!!

Just uncertain as to the gearbox model that will fit the beast..
Would one from a 530D/330D fit without too many mods???

Cheers

Check realoem for part number required & also speak to a good indy to ascertain whats involved. Maybe cheaper to sell & buy a manual if you can source a good one & assuming your auto box is suitably reliable to sell car on with.
