Looking for a little more info on the automatic transmission usage on the e23. In the US from what I understand it was a 3 speed until 83 then went to a 4 speed. What year did it upgrade to electronic?

745i received it 05/83 with the introduction of the 3.4L Turbo Motronic.
US spec cars? Early 1985 production, probably for late summer launch. I do not have exact month and year for you.
I make E23 parts.

Ford, MB, and GM round out the pack.
My US 4/85 came with the non EH. My 5/86 (titled as an 87) had it.
Anyone have a working 4 speed non EH they want to sell?

I pulled it out and was going to swap it with another 4hp22 I had but the output shaft and flange were different. Mine would not start in drive unless I put it into first gear then it would shift fine once moving. I was hoping to find a better candidate for a rebuild or something to at least get me going through the summer.

Some had Ujoints and some flex disc...you sure the output shafts are different? I put a 4HP24 V12 output in my 4HP22 as it is thicker and has an additional oil feed for cooling.

Update: I found a parts car sitting in the weeds in northern Michigan. It's an 85, mine is 84, I got it home and pulled the trans. It all looks like it will bolt up but I will also use the parts cars driveshaft. It has the u joint mine had the flex disc.

Front half of the shafts is the different point. You can just toss it all in and go... I would not toss in a 35 year old trans, but that is me.

Scottr09, you mentioned parts car - can you "part" with one ABS wheel sensor?
I am getting a running, driving 84 733i which has the non EH 4 speed auto. Car will be here in a couple weeks. The trans will be available - it is getting manual swapped using parts from my other e23 that will become a parts car. If the trans you sourced does not work out let me know.
