Hi,
here you find some information about Getrag, their gearboxes and in which car you find them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getrag.
e.g. the Getrag 265 — 5-speed
    BMW E23
    BMW E24
    BMW E28
    Opel Monza
    Opel Senator A
    1986-1992 BMW M3
    1987-1990 BMW 320is

It has to be one with the dogleg. Not all 265’s are equal.

Hi Garry I have the standard non dogleg 265 in my car.  Dogleg is probably more fun to drive though!

FYI, regarding the kit sold here:

http://w113.eu/geschlossen/Optimierungen/5%20Gang%20Getriebe%20Mercedes%20Pagode%20W113.htm

They will ONLY sell within the EU I believe.

If anyone is interested in getting this kit to the USA (or maybe even Australia), my friend Keshav in Germany ships out a lot of BMW parts to me in the US (Seattle) that I normally can't get, for a small handling fee.

I told him about this kit and how they won't ship to the USA directly and he said no problem.

BTW, I still have my Getrag 265 for sale for those in the States willing to convert.

Picture of what you get w/the kit:



Don't think it includes the bellhousing.

BTW, got an answer regarding costs (does not include shipping kit from my friend Keshav in DE to USA):

• Conversion kit 741€
• Shortened drive shaft (highly recommended) 251€
• Shipping to my friend in Germany: 16€

A lot cheaper than that £12k 6-speed kit (or the Polish kit).

I would do this in a second if my wife's Pagoda was a stick shift.

I purchased my kit many years ago and it was shipped to me by a fellow member in Germany.
Gernold installed one a few years ago and had a few changes which he sent his changes to Germany.
I have not heard from anyone (Germany) about the changes that Gernold made. Germany does not speak English so that is a problem.
So if it involved changes, Germany owes me the parts if any.

Also it does not include the bell housing.
The complete kit was Just about $1,000 a few years ago.

Hi, I know it's been over a year but do still have the Getrag for sale?

[teahead]

Nope.

Check ebay or e9coupe.com classifieds

Hi Guys,
I drilled the spot welds from the stiffener plate and removed the doubler, made up some transmission mountings for the Getrag and it seems to be working just fine.

FYI, why would you want a dogleg with a 1:1 in 5th gear?

The Pagode has a final drive ratio of 3.69 or 4.0.1 I think.

The whole point of a 5-speed is to have overdrive so you're not doing 4000 RPM at 70mph, but probably 3000 instead.

I used Mark Turnbulls kit and support but then modified a spare gearbox support plate for a more pleasant look .
