I contacted Barry at Midnight-Tuning, he told me the transmission computer could just be swapped with one from a manual E36.

ECU Tuning

Hello,
I have an auto 318ti. I plan to swap to a manual. I never found any compacts in good condition around us with a manual, so I bought an auto planning to eventually do the swap.

Done, it worked.
Took me a little while to properly bleed the cooling system, but I think I'm good to go.

Now I need to figure out why it's sometimes slow to start. :rolleyes:

For those interested,
I had to go back in to replaced my oil filter housing o-rings/bush/gasket.

When I removed all of the parts up to the oil filter housing, it seemed to me that I could reach...

Looks like I'll just be running my own ground wire for the normal speed circuit, bypassing the DME. Does this sound good to everyone?

So it turns out I DID have the same issue, no low-speed when the connector is jumped. Only high-speed. I jumped 30 and 87 on the low-speed relay and the fan DID run, so DME grounding issue? How do I...

I will do this. I still don't understand why this would happen though, since if I close the low or high-speed circuits at the fan connector the fan runs (which is exactly what the temperature switch...

Oh, I might understand what you mean... Perhaps the DME trigger is bad? I have a bad DME trigger on my E46 for the exhaust baffle valve, so I had to run a switch in my own circuit for it to operate....

My fan works when I jump them, but that doesn't help me. I need the sensor to activate the fan.
Are you saying you changed a part and fixed this issue?

Well I'm "done". Rear tube was easy enough without removing the valve cover, don't know why that was said to be needed.
