        The SMG to manual transmission on a BMW requires a few extra steps to properly get cruise control working. In this video, I go over the steps on how to get c...

          If you're doing an SMG to manual conversion, you may as well just use the 2001 style sensors since they're still available. For us factory manual cars, it's a little annoying if our stock sensors fail.

            So, I have completed the swap and everything appeared to be functioning properly, no lights on the dash, no COG of death etc. However when I drive the car it is noticeably down on power. It feels as though the cat is clogged, but not sure how that could have happened when it was fine prior to the swap. I did flash all the proper modules to manual, but I made no binary code modifications. My understanding was that binary changes only needed to be made to get cruise to work properly? My car is an early 2002. Any help would be appreciated.

              contact ECUWorx, Martyn, maybe he'll help you out... he did my flash remotely without any issues.

                  If someone want the -700 brown Clutch switch, I have a new one here laying around.
                  If these are still not available, i can send it international (I’m in Germany) otherwise I will give I back to the dealer.
                  …under construction.

                    Just like other connections, there is a little tab on the side you press and the internal cassette slides out.

                      Doing a manual conversion next month and need it. I'll take it off your hands if it's available. I've sent you a PM.

                      Regards

                        Thanks. I didn't realize it slides perpendicular to the wire direction. Whole time I was trying to get it the same way the wires go.

                          Last question I swear!

                          What is the pin connector size you use for the wire you insert into the EWS? Where do you guys buy that from?

                          https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...17#61131393704

                          is that the right one?

                          Edit: Nope 61-13-1-393-704 keeps getting stuck in it.

                          Edit2: screw it lets just code out EWS.

                            If anyone else has trouble finding the part number for the PIN into the EWS or the pin for the back of the instrument cluster it is 61-13-0-005-197. Thanks to Martyn for that and super quickly doing my coding remotely. No GPS or dme wire and everything works perfectly with reverse lights and mirror tilt on an 2004!

                              Hey guys, I just completed this swap, but I’m getting a grinding noise when I try to engage any gear (and I cannot get Into the gear)

                              my guess is the clutch isn’t fully disengaging? I’m putting in a new CMC and rebleeding the clutch (possible there was air in the system)

                              any thoughts?

                              *edit* I can go into second gear no problem

                                With engine off, can you shift into any gears? If not then the shift rod is mis-aligned. If yes then it seems clutch is not completely disengaged (test this by let it roll down a slope in gear when step on the clutch).
