Samurai, Jimny + bmw gearbox + VW 1.9 tdi, 1.8t Adapter

An adapter that allows you to swap a Volkswagen PD 1.9 TDI / 1.8T engine into your Suzuki Samurai using a BMW E36, E46 transmission and your original Samurai 4x4 transfer case.

The adapter sets the gearbox angle at about 4 degrees, allowing the engine to fit under the Suzuki hood and providing room even in smaller cars like your Suzuki. We recommend using this adapter plate in your Suzuki.

BMW gearboxes can handle the power of VW engines, and you can also use a larger  and stronger VW clutch kits.

We highly recommend using this gearbox with the Samurai transfer case instead of the original Samurai gearbox. "With this setup, you only need to do it once—there will be no issues with slipping clutches or weak gearboxes."
