Getrag 260/6 and other necessary parts

Recommended Posts

A while ago I bought an E34 which I love to bits, but I want to make it more of my own and I want to start with a manual swap. It's a 535i with it's factory m30b35 so I understand I'd need a 260/6 for the sake of ease and reliability. Does anyone have one and the other necessary parts available to do the swap?

You have an M30 engine so make sure you get a gearbox for M30. M20s also used a 260 box but they won't fix on an M30.

I have a VY Commodore which has the 260. While the case is different from the BMW case I understand the internals are the same. Mine is noisy in all gears except 4th.

Can anyone tell me where you can buy parts for the 260, specifically bearings for the layshaft and possibly the input shaft?

Thanks
