Question I was wondering if they were ever available in the US with a manual transmission. I was going to do an auto to manual swap in my 91 740 but am having difficulty finding a flywheel that will work with the regina crank sensor. If there are no regina cars, is there an easy way to adapt the lh 2.2/2.4 flwheel to work on my car?
Answer Andrew,
I do not remember seeing any Regina cars with a standard trans. I would say call the dealer parts dept and have them look for a standard flywheel for Regina. Otherwise you will have to get one for a Bosch system. I know it will bolt to the car, but not sure it will work with the Regina system.
