325 TDS E36 318I E36 (A)

This 325 TDS E36 318I E36 (A) is a used automatic transmission, removed from a running donor vehicle and inspected by our technicians rather than shipped unchecked. Fluid condition, case integrity, and shift feel are all reviewed prior to listing, giving you a documented starting point instead of a total unknown.

Key Specifications: Every internal component and the housing itself are the original factory design for this BMW application, no reproduction parts. Transmission type: Automatic (torque converter). We list the gear count as application-dependent for the 325 TDS E36 318I E36 (A): several ratio sets were fitted across different markets and trim levels, so confirm against your old unit or VIN before ordering. Compatible engine(s): 325TDS engine variants. Since the 325 TDS E36 318I E36 (A) platform spans multiple drivetrain configurations, confirm your chassis's drive layout against the listing before ordering to be certain of fitment.

Performance Characteristics: As an automatic unit, smooth shift quality depends heavily on fluid condition and the health of the valve body and solenoids, so a fluid and filter service at installation is worth doing even on a freshly tested used unit.

Common Applications: Expect this unit to fit BMW vehicles that were factory-paired with the 325TDS driveline described above. Because the same casting is often reused across multiple model years with small internal or electronic revisions, we recommend confirming the exact spline count and control variant against your vehicle, or simply sending your VIN so our team can verify fitment ahead of time.
