How much can one expect to pay for a good used 6-sp tranny from an 850i with, say, around 100k miles?
How about for the rest of the parts for a 6-sp swap on an 850? Like pedals, clutch/flywheel assembly, shifter linkage/assembly, maybe driveshaft?, etc...?
Thanks guys
you are better off finding a 6-speed car. The swap will run you in the neighborhood of $5000.

2001 740iL - Titansilber
ALPINA B7 -Alpinweiß III
...the price of cool ain't cheap!
Really? I'm getting very different info... someone PM'd me and said it was gonna be a much lower range...
Can you pls give me a breakdown for what's needed? I'm assuming it's the following:
- Tranny
- Clutch/flywheel/slave cyl
- Pedals and clutch master cyl
- Shifter linkage, lever, knob, boot, maybe entire center console piece?
- Driveshaft
- Any reprogramming of the ECU???
What did I miss? Also, do you know the rough individual prices of these parts?
Hey man, how's it going? No, not putting a V12 in the E36 (although that would be pretty sweet!). I'm considering buying an 850i. The M3 is still S/C, but I blew the head gasket... Should be getting it fixed soon though.
Well if your ever up north, your more than welcome to come and see my 6spd and get an idea about the 8. Hope you do join the E31 club.

Cheapest way to do it is using a totaled 850i/6, market price is around $3500 if you can find one. Individual manual parts will sell for more, and you'll still have to replace all the maintenance items while you're in there. Figure $4000 if everything goes very well and you find said car.
If you're buying parts one at a time, as said before, expect to pay over $5k

A swap could be done for $5k if the parts were gotten right and replacements were minimal. Anybody doing it would want to change the rear ratio on the diff too. The stock 2.65 is a slug and the 3.64 of an autobox car is a little short IMO, so that has to be factored in. I wouldn't give $5k for parts alone however when whole cars are going for a lot less.
