WTB 5spd swap parts.

OK, I have been pondering between doing a auto-manual swap in my 1988 535i since i purchased it last Aug., or changing it to a non eh auto. I am only 15 but after doing a 350 Rocket rebuild out of an Olds. with a mechanic friend of my dad, I feel that I (we) are ready to do the swap, at least once I have all the parts and when the Iowa whether warms up enough to move the car to our shop, and so I don't freeze to death in the process.

So I am getting the info and prep that I need for the swap, and was wondering what parts I WILL NEED to do it, so that I don't need to wait a week or two for more $1 bolts to arrive.

So does anyone have the parts list, or perhaps the parts themselves for sale?

PM me with any details or prices that you may have.

Thanks a lot guys.

I decided to, since the body and engine are in such great shape, it's worth doing for what little I have in it.

I 'may' have a driveshaft, shifter, & possibly 260/6 gearbox available if needed.
