I just check with my guy, he did the FO to 2MA, he is going to check about the ZUSB using winFKP, thanks

Be very careful with WinKfp

You can brick your ecu if you don't have an adequate power supply and an ICOM. Do not attempt this through the OBD Port. Don't ask me how I know.

Hasan,

I bought an used M5 6speed manual and all the parts needed, like pedal, drive shaft, all the links from gearbox to the shifter, shifter parts.

Its only the CEL now, nothing else

So you did the swap without changing the wiring harness or any ECUs? Is your SMG ECU still connected or have you removed it?

If you connect the car to a charger it would be fine to use the OBD port?

Hasan,

There are no additional ecu and yes, they did remove the SMG ecu

What about the wiring harness. Did they change it?

 

[technoz1]

Hasan,

They didnt change the wiring harness

 

[Hasan Shaikh]

This is strange because the threads I read on this forum suggested that the complete wiring harness will need to be replaced with one from a 6MT car.

Hasan,

They didnt change the wiring harness

 

[Hasan Shaikh]

Hasan,

They didnt change the wiring harness

Can you please post some pictures and videos?

What did they do with the center console?

 

[technoz1]

Hasan

Sorry for the really late reply

the photos are not step by step cause too excited to be finished so i only have 7 photos

Hope this will give you some ideas

 

[Hasan Shaikh]

Great. Thanks

Appreciate your help. Do you have a list of parts required to get this done.

Thanks

 

[Hasan Shaikh]

Also, did you need to change the drive shaft?

 

[technoz1]

Hasan

Let me make the list for the parts and yes, have to change the drive shaft, the drive shaft of manual gearbox is longer than the smg coz the manual gearbox is smaller

 

[Hasan Shaikh]

Thanks

Appreciate your help.

Don't forget you will need the corresponding MT flywheel, and you will need to add wiring/provisions for the trans fluid quality/temp sensors, and clutch switch which the DME will be looking for with the 6MT DME flash. I'd upgrade to the 2009/10 diff as well while you're at it. It's a good security at ~300$ or so.

Some other obvious, already mentioned items:

Pedals
Slave
Associated tubing for hydraulics
master reservior cut for fluid drop down to slave
instrument cluster software/coding
trans
clutch
driveshaft (Length difference)
CSB
necessary console trim/boots
Shift linkage (Might as well weight the rod while youre in there.)




DME SW:

7842647: Non US cars with bad fuel quality and a lower service interval on oil changes.
7842502: US SMG and Korean Cars. *
7842641: Non US cars with bad fuel quality.
7842645: Non US cars with some kind of CEL parameter change**
7842795: Japan's version.
7842643: Non US cars with bad fuel quality and a CEL Parameter change(see 7842645 but with bad fuel).
7842649: Non US cars with bad fuel quality and a CEL Parameter change(see 7842645 but with bad fuel) and the lower service interval.
7842639: Non US cars standard tune CO2***
7842504: US Non SMG cars
7842799: Targets The New Euro CO2 standards. This requires a new code file flash as well.



Thanks to M5B user "Ferris" who seems to have access to BMW's SWL system, or did at one time.

Why would one need to change the flywheel?

What is the difference in the 2009l10 diff?

Flywheels are completely different:

vs

Regarding the diff, I do not know exactly what changed, but I was told by an inside source that the MY09+ M5 diffs underwent a design change to increase robustness.

I love to see the smg guys talk about how fast the smg is next to the 6sp. How's this anyone near or from NY with a smg that wants to test that fact? I have a stock car except for the exhaust so you take off all your crap and we'll race deal ?

I believe it's driver not smg vs stick.:eek
Anyone who wants to play pm me. I'll set it all up, and I will make sure it's all on video.

This entire thread was about converting an SMG car to 6MT from a technical perspective for people tired of dealing with SMG problems. I'm not sure where your comment was aimed.
