turoa 1 Report post Posted October 18, 2013 Hi all, Ive had an issue with my getrag 260 whereby it will not select 1st or second. Have pulled the box apart and found that the slider to select first and second is seized and Im guessing the syncros will be completely rooted. There is a bit of bronze in the bottom of the casing and the shift rod is not seized. Will this be worth repairing or will it be more economical to buy a new box? Im only a student and looking to flick the car off once its all going again so a cheaper fix is ideal! (325i saffa spec, recaro leather etc). Cheers Turoa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted October 18, 2013 usually easier to get another box. Not sure if possible to repair, my self taught education stops there ha if your E30 is a prefacelift 325i, remember to get the gearbox type that has a hole in the bellhousing for the rear crank position sensor. Later types dont have it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
