How to Manual Swap your car, BMW E30 - Part 1
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 07. 2019
- We finally get around to swapping Rob's E30 from an automatic to a manual transmission. This is part one and will show you all the major components required to convert to a manual transmission, as well as show you the steps involved to remove the current automatic parts from your car.
This process is shown using an E30 as an example, however many other vehicles will be similar and this video can be used as education/guidance to understanding the process required for the swap.
Good Luck on your projects and happy wrenching!
PS: Huge Shoutout to Mat S. for editing this video, and thank you Rob for letting us wrench on your car.

Thank you guys for watching! I wanted to take a quick moment to say Welcome to Mat, who will be shooting new content with me from here on out and who is making it possible for SCE to make a comeback. Give this comment a thumbs up to show Mat some love! -Nico
Salt City Euros re upland the e fan installl
Glad to see new content on this channel
Already changed mine to 5 speed
Salt City Euros how similar is this swap on a e34. I have a 525i and am interested in this swap
This helped a TON with my swap project. It's such a great feeling to feel that clutch engage for the first time! Also to throw away that old automatic..
Welcome back SCE! Nice to see you wrenching again.
Cristo Rodriguez thank you so much, was very fun to shoot this video.
glad you're back, PLEASE upload all your old videos. Hoping to do IS sideskirts soon lol
I am so sorry but I do not have the old videos anymore...I have 2-3 random ones that I need to re-process/re-edit and upload, but majority of the old content is gone. Sorry
Salt City Euros oh man that’s a travesty, sorry to hear
@@SaltCityEuros Your old videos were exceptional such a shame. Glad you're back though.
God damn I've missed that intro, glad to see you back niko
The intro still gives me chills every time I see/hear it
Hi Nico! Wir haben hier im guten alten Köln echt lange auf neues Material von dir gewartet. Sehr geil, dass du wieder da bist :-). Und las dir dieses Mal von den CZcams Affen nicht mehr deinen Content löschen ;). Schöne Grüße aus der Heimat! :-)
Welcome Mat! :-)
I thought this channel had shut down glad to see a vid from you guys again
Finally, I missed your videos so much... please don’t quit CZcams, I know it hard to start over but this is such a good quality channel
TurboSpool it was really difficult to get to this point, but Mat and I are very motivated to make many more videos... quitting is not an option. Thanks for the support
Honestly guys you have the best E30 channel I've ever watched. I would love to able to see your older videos, but I'm happy you are back. This video is great, and touches a topic that I am very interested in. :-)
Hyped for the return of content !
Wow, was just thinking about how much I loved your retro 80s edited videos, and here you are popping up with more content!
Great to see you guys back been 11 months :/ keep it consistent and the channel will grow greatly :D Anyone thinking of doing the manual conversion try use the 260/265 gearbox as they are bullet proof, you can use the 240 but make sure its for the M20 as they made a 240 for the m40/m42 but the gearbox sits at a different angle and the input shaft to the spigot bearing is a different size.
Welcome back! This e30 looks very clean, the manual swap makes it even better.
I was just thinking about this channel yesterday! So glad you decided to come back. Some of the best classic bmw content!
Thought this channel was dead, soooo happy it isn't
This just made my day! Really looking forward to see future SCE content. I missed the channel.
So damn hyped! Welcome back my allt time favorite youtube channel!! Hope you'll stay for good.
nice to see you back. hope all is well and cant wait for your videos 👍✌
Seeing you guys back, best news of the day!!!

Yes. I was hoping for another video. Very exited and greetings from Germany.
Welcome back guys. Nice to see the channel revive to its glory.
Missed that intro 😍
Good to see you back
Can't wait for more content
Good to see you guys again
Dope, glad to see you are back 👌🏼
Perfect timing honestly. Getting ready to do this on my 325e.
Got the 4.10 diff, now just need a clean 885 head. Cant wait to finish it
Nice to see you back Nico
I almost didn't believe that blue dot.. super happy you are making new stuff!
Mega geil das du wider da bist 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Ahh yeah love it! Great to see a video from you 👍🏼
Welcome back !!!
Incredible explanation, thank you for making this awsome channel, and let us learn more and more about E30's.
Merry Christmas from Spain 🇪🇸
4:45 my understanding was the opposite. When you press the clutch pedal the pressure plate releases from the friction plate so you can change gears. When you release the clutch pedal all three pieces spin together again.
Yes, that’s if you’re in gear. He was assuming that the car is in neutral when giving that explanation.
yes you're back!!!
YES. Welcome back!
Yoooooo.....you're back!!
Man, very glad you guys are at it again.
Don't forget the 320!
Oh your back Nice. being fan for a long time. Finaly i got myself an E30 to 320I
Ayyyy, he’s back!
Best E30 manual swap video!!!! Theres a reason you have zero dislikes. Keep it up mate!
Thank God this channel is back.
What a coincidence, I watched this channel a long time ago when it was the other dude and Nico, but I didn't even have an e30 (or any car) now I got a car and it's an e30! Looking forward to more content.
Hell yeah dude. The community missed this
Welcome back!! Best youtube channel!!
Fuck yes dude! So glad to see you back.
Its been a long time, and good to see you uploading. My father and i are starting to record vids. And will up load soon too. No channel started yet. But we have an 84 318i we bought at an auction. Going to bring it back to snuff.
Welcome back & love the green hell tshirt (aka Nurburgring)
Awesome video guys super informative. Really good pace for learning.
Welcome back !
Welcome back guys
Good to see you back after all the BS youtube sent your way!
never clicked so fast before!
welcome back nico!
Thank you so much for the love and support! -Nico
Glad your back. Still love me some E30 love. I have a 90 E30 Touring with an m20 swap. Consider an e46 purple tag steering rack.
Whoo, you're back!
Willkommen zurück Nico! Really happy that you're uploading again! Looking forward to see more about this project, the car seems tidy. Could we perhaps get a little context to it? :)
Omg!!! Sce is back!!
Man it’s been a min since u guys been around I’ve missed you dudes #nohomo
That explanation was beyond helpful
Glad to have you guys back have just bought another E30 and glad to see that blue dot saying your back in action. Are you guys able to upload the old videos as I would love to use them for my engine swap I'm about to endeavour on my own.
really enjoyed your explanations. Thanks
i missed that intro welcome back gents
Looking to buy an E30 (first project car) coming buy a clean auto is so much easier than manual. Thanks for these videos guy might take the leap of faith and do the conversion myself.
Same bro same record your process good luck my guy
@@erikcruz6019 Funny you commented I bought mine 88 vert. I am buying all the parts to make one giant swap. Thanks for the video again
Endlich!!👍🏻👍🏻
Happy to have you guys back! Any plans on uploading the old content as well?
ITSSS BACKK
Fun to drive with manual transmission, nice
Nice....learned something today...thanks
Yes boys, SCE is back! (Hopefully?)
This should be in youtube trends!
Setup a patreon so I can support you guys, love the content and keep making awesome videos
Welcome back to CZcams guys, i've been waiting for this since you had to split... Any news regarding the e21 ?
Yooo! Just found out about you guys! Sick to see a Euro car channel from SLC!
Woho! Salt City Euros!!
Yeah new video
Currently busy with my own car. Fitting an m20b31 stroker and a 260 Getrag box. I have someone doing the work for me but I was tasked with getting all the parts for the build.
Welcome back! So glad to see you back dude! was this car imported it looks European?
I love your vids
Best DIY!
Glad that you're back! Any update on the E21?
And yeah those starters ain't no joke. I JB welded the top bolt to the transmission so it wouldn't spin before I put it back in
I MISSED YOUUUUUUU!
One part missing from the list is -
Part No. 11761716360
Bracket exhaust pipe
This further supports the mid-pipe exhaust. The bracket with the automatic transmission is different.
What I learned from this video is just be patient and find a manual
Going to do this to my e30
Miss you
Yes!!
I always watch your videos and I just wanted to ask if you have to change the computer of the car in the transition from automatic to manual?
Hi there this vide is awesome ,, thank you guys , what flash light that you used
Hey buddy As I was removing the gear shifter seal, that whole that selects gears came out.. you perhaps have any idea what damage could I have done cause now it won’t select gears anymore
HELLOOO BROOO WELCOME 😍😍😍😍
Hello, how are you? I swapped the m50 with a getrag 260 box and I needed to have an m40 cob motor with the same box.
When installing the engine, the box went further back because of the engine, which is longer, I adapted the transmission, but now I am stuck in the medudas of the selector rods that were long and I cannot get them where I live.
And I would like to know if you know what size the shorter rods have to adapt the ones it has and so I stay more focused on the selector system, please, I would appreciate it, greetings, very good videos
Missed my E30 fix :-)
Buying a part car for the manual swap, would it be easier to pull the whole engine out with the transmission to do the job?
Will you be reuploading the original touring series videos?
I have a question about the transmission cooling?? I currently have a 4 speed auto in my 89’ 325i, and I plan to swap it ASAP, however the lines for the auto trans cooler are leaking, I want to fix this, but would it be in vain for a manual swap? Or is there a separate cooler for it? Maybe it doesn’t have one?.. thank you for any help!! Great video!
So normaler the manual transmission E30s don’t come with transmission coolers, that’s for Auto only. So yes, in my experience you don’t need to retain any of the cooking components and it would be a waste to try and fix it before swapping to a manual.
I want see the S50 swap video again, very helpful for me....maybe It's impossible?
Hi mate I’ve got a 1988 e30 325i, what manual transmission can I use thanks.
O. My. God. Where have you been so long???
About how much did all of those parts cost. I have a getrag transmission(needs to be rebuilt), flywheel, clutch, and driveshaft. All for my e28 and im 16 and im hoping that after buying all the rest of the parts and rebuild the trans it only sets me back $1500
