77jessejames77 1 Report post Posted March 3, 2017 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.

Arguably a better solution to use a bolt then. had a thought, why not epoxy? Edited March 8, 2017 by eliongater Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
