Average cost for SMG to manual conversion

[S3diment]

I've gotten quotes anywhere from $3500 to $4k, includes things like the bmw shifter, weighted knob, clutch, rear main seal, engine/trans mounts, csb, flex joint etc. Flywheel extra.

Lang Racing has the bellhousing modifications for a tad over $500 - https://store.langracing.com/e46-bel...al-conversion/ The rest is pretty straight forward.

Should be about $1k in parts and between $450-600 for bellhousing machining. Hours vary between shops. One quoted me $7k, who had performed them successfully for a turn key service. Another was $1.5k in labor that hadn't done it before. You can achieve this under $2k if you're keen on deals and don't replace the clutch. I'm at about $700 in parts and I only need a clutch switch, gear position sensor, and a machined bellhousing. The shifter parts were all on sale and I bought the BMW performance shifter for $180 from the dealer. It's slightly more weighted than stock and has alcantara on it. It was the cheapest of them all ironically. I also got lucky and found a $50 pedal set a guy was just trying to clear out. Sometimes patience is key. My conversion is 3 years in the making...

I would think low $3k, depending on shifter, whether or not you fit a new clutch and/or flywheel, and a few other choices like whether or not you install a gear position sensor (which is wholly unnecessary with the right coding). At least that's what prices were when I was asking around a couple of years ago.

I ended up deciding to do it myself. Because I was renting a lift for $30/hr it ended up costing about the same as paying to have it done professionally in the end. But I did learn a tremendous amount and have peace of mind in knowing exactly how every part was done.

What’s the average cost for getting an smg to manual conversion done ? Been calling a few shops and getting very different pricing. Trying to reuse/modify the bell housing since it has low miles.
