nzhaystack 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2011 Hey Guys, I have had a look at the number stamped on the side of my gearbox and this is what i got GETRAG 260.0.1346.90 Just to confirm.. the first 3 numbers are the model they are reffered to right? like the getrag 240 and 260 etc? Just wanted to double check before i got a new one and realised it wasnt going to bolt up And in my case i have the Getrag 260? Cheers Mitchell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted February 2, 2011 yes getrag 260 , but also check its a m20 or m30 type as they have different bellhousing , also there are early ones and later ones with different gear shifter mechs , also some have holes in the bell housing for sensors if the car needs them (like a pfl 325i or e28 525e etc) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted February 2, 2011 oh really you will want a G260 box after all ha. i think it will be a later gearbox beause it has the facelift/later shifter mechanism on it and i dont recall that being able to be bolted to an early box? Jon may be able to tell you if its a M20 or M30 box, i dont think he would sell the wrong gearbox to the previous owner Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
