E28 535i m30 manual swap

Recommended Posts

Hi I'm after some advice. I'm loozing to do a manual conversion on my e28 m535i but trying to find a gearbox has been a real struggle. I'm after a getrag-260 or a 265 I hear the getrag 240 from a m10 would do the job but they seem to be just as rare. I would rather not buy one from overseas if I can avoid it. Does anyone have any recommendations on where I could find one or some other options I could look at? Any info i can get is good info! Cheers guys.

Jess

Don't forget you'll need to weld a mount onto the trans tunnel to support the end of the shift linkage

You can drill a hole and bolt it to the floor like I did, works perfectly fine.

Arguably a better solution to use a bolt then.

 

 

had a thought, why not epoxy?
