Wanted M10 gearbox casing including bellhousing section.

[chiz 3]

Just need an empty casing or full gearbox which is stuffed which has the right bellhousing for fitting to an M10 motor.

Are you going to do a gearbox swap on the 2002?. If you grab an automatic from an early E30 318 (with M10) you can unbolt the bell housing from that and it becomes a good start for gearbox swap.

If you can't find an auto, try offering someone with a 4spd on trademe $50 for one. I sold 2x for $100 about 5 years ago I think. They're worthless.

Very interested to know what you are planning to put on there. I am not hopeful for the lifespan of the E30 318i Getrag 240 in mine once (if?) I ever start driving it with the turbo.

Craig (the poster above me) did a good job getting a Ford box in his, but I am not sure they're strong enough for my aspirations either.

Im pretty sure i still have an e21 4 speed lying around in storage somewhere if you are still looking.

Hey Cam, how about a Tremac / Borg- Warner T5 ?. Lots of donor cars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg-Warner_T-5_transmission) and lots of close ratio gear sets available.

You can go to about 190 Hp with the Type 9 I used, or 250 Hp with the heavy duty Quaffe kit.

BTW - I finally got a close ratio Quaffe kit into mine, it's awesome.

[CamB 48]

Yeah - it looks like once you start cutting the tunnel that a T5 is a pretty cost effective option as you can get all manner of decent gear kits out of the US.

I'd like to see +/-300hp (seems achievable for 2000cc turbo), so not sure how long a (reasonably expensive) HD-equipped Type 9 will last.

So, as I can't find a G260 in M10/M30 fit (which is easily strong enough), I've resolved to see how I go with the G240. I am hopeful that turbo torque spread will make it less critical to have close ratio.

Where are the close ratio kits for a T5 ? I can only find the Quaife kit.

m30 has same bolt pattern as m10
