WTB G245 driveshaft for manual conversion

[Cev 0]

Gidday folks,

I’m quite new to the forum however ran out of places to search for a few items needed to complete my manual conversion on my recently purchased 1989 320i E30.

It’s running in M20B20 motor and 4HP22 auto trans-which I am converting to manual using a G245 box which I purchased recently.

I’m after a driveshaft that will be compatible without any modification, but I am open to ideas which may require modification in order to get the driveshaft fitted.

 

Located Wellington

Cash ready & waiting

I could be wrong, but you might struggle to find one that’s a bolt in affair. As 245s were only found in one model of e30 (I suspect you have an e21 box).

You may have to get a driveshaft modified to fit. However if it’s the same length as a 240 or 260 than there will be driveshafts out there. I’ve got a 260 (can’t recall the exact version) if you’d like me to measure it.

Will the shaft fit both G240 and G260?

just after easiest manual route.

There’s a different driveshaft for each gearbox (on my earlier link it also talks about driveshafts).
