P38 manual to l322 manual conversion

Roborod1969 said:

Hello everyone, I have a 2003 l322 diesel with a troubled gearbox , and I want to convert to a manual . I’ve seen this done using a BMW X5 3.0 diesel manual gearbox.
However these are hard to find , and I was wondering if anyone had used a p38 manual gearbox from the 2.5 , which I believe is the earlier version of the n57 3.0
Will the bell housing bolt on ?
I know the electrics will need sorting etc .
Has anyone got any advice ?
