    Default E36 transmission a4s 270R replacement with a a4s 310R? Possible

    All,
    I am new to BMW an this forum. I have a 1996 328i that needs a new transmission. It currently has a a4s 270R but i found a used a4s 310R that I maybe able to use from a 1995 325i. Has anyone had any experience with this swap? I read that the only difference should be the planetary gear that is used in it. I just got a A1+B+C to be able to interface with the car and see what is going on with the error codes.
    Thanks,

    Kevin, you should post in the 5er section. I think Erich is the only one to surf all the boards here lol. Most of us just stick to the 5er board, you can post anything there.

    I remember a similar thread http://www.bimmernut.com/forum/showt...10r-swap-error
    Basically, to avoid any problems, stick to the same trans, the same part number on the trans sticker, the same control unit.
    whiskychaser might know more about these trans types.
