cytamen 1 Report post Posted June 24, 2011 Hey guys, Has anybody been through the process of having their trans rebuilt? I have some pretty annoying issues with 3rd to 2nd transfer in my transmission as well as an oil leak, and wondering if anybody can recommend a good shop to do transmission repairs and if you have any ballpark idea of what cost I should be looking at, that'd be great.

cytamen 1 Report post Posted June 24, 2011 I wanted to rebuilt cause the amount of labour involved in swapping a box & the cost of the box itself is quite high, and knowing my luck after a month the box will stuff up. It's a manual coversion car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cytamen 1 Report post Posted June 30, 2011 Alright, so I've found by checking the number printed on the box that the person who converted this car to manual decided to use a Getrag 225. I won't be rebuilding this and I'm either going to be an idiot and spend $3800 on a brand new unused Getrag 250, or buy a ZF 320Z box. I just need to know if there will be any other parts needed to get this box to fit, or if it should just bolt straight up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cytamen 1 Report post Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) So, I now have a Getrag 250 gearbox. A brand new Luk flywheel. A brand new Sachs Clutch Kit. A brand new clutch slave. And I've also had to order a new starter motor, a selector rod and a shifter arm. I've got all of these except the shifter arm Part number is 25 11 1 221 541 and found in 320i 325i (M50) & 320i (M52) 323i (M52) I have one from 2.8L and it's not the right size so must be from one of the above. Does anybody have one lying round? Edited July 20, 2011 by cytamen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
