Guibo Flogged Getrag 245 [SOLD]


'76mintgrün'02

Recommended Posts

Price: $250
Location: Kingston, Wa.


Description:

I have [had] a 245 five speed that came from an '83 320i. [it has been sold]

Unfortunately, the guibo gave up and the bolts beat the shit out of the selector rod.

Apparently the selector rod is NLA.

It also did some damage to the rear housing as can be seen in the photos.

I pulled this from the wrecking yard and so know nothing about how it shifted prior to being parked.

If you have a parts tranny, or need one, this might be the deal for you.

I spent a LOT of time cleaning it....

Asking $250.  Not wanting to ship it.  PayPal accepted, but cash is preferred.

I now disagree with some of the timing advice I have given in the past.  I misinterpreted the distributor curves in the Blue Book. 

I've switched from using ported-vacuum to manifold, with better results. 

I apologize for spreading misinformation.

The dwell is the number of degrees of distributor shaft rotation that the points are closed.

As of yesterday, "NLA" is what my prospective buyer told me.

 

While your math might make sense, I am not up for the footwork.

 

Does your car already have a five speed, Ryan?

 

We could be putting it in your trunk in a matter of minutes!

 

You're buddies with that shop, take them this project.

 

I admire your ambition.

Show me how it's done : )

It's already cleeeeean.

 

Project for sale. 

Step Right Up!!

I'm rolling on a 4 speed with busted synchros! While i'd love to give 'er a go, I can't afford that until i finish the rest of my rebuild. If it's still laying around when I'm done throwing money at my rebuild I'll look more into it, though. 5 Speed would be nice.

You should see if these guys are actually selling this:

 

http://parts.bmwnorthwest.com/p/BMW__320i/Selector-shaft/43697459/23311209475.html

 

Then you can bring the tranny to the NAPA machine shop in Bremerton and have them fix the crack.

 

Then you can sell it for $1200 instead of $250

 

Maybe?

Not the same rod, this one is the external one.

If a buyer goes for this, I have a 245 Getrag I'm parting out (and it has a good selector rod). -KB

I'm the one who told Tom that the selector rod was NLA.  I based that on the fact that realoem showed it as "ended".  I guess I should have dug a little deeper as it appears that the online BMW parts dealers (GETBMWparts.com is the one I use) do show it available.  So between kbmb02 and the dealer it looks like you could gather everything needed to make this usable.  I would be curious to see if the dealer actually had this available.  I recently got very excited when I saw a rare NK part number show up with a price only to get the dreaded email a couple of days later saying "sorry, no longer available".

 

Regarding Chris's comment, if the part number ending in 475 isn't the same damaged part that Tom shows in the first image then I'm stumped as to where to locate the selector rod on realoem.  Wouldn't be the first time i was confused using realoem though.

 

Last, is the going rate for these really $1200?

Just for grins, I just sent them an email inquiry about the availability of part number 23311209475.

There is another selector shaft further down on the list, which says NLA.

This one says it is used through 9/82.

The tranny I have came off of an 83 model year car, but production may have happened in 82 (must have?).

As I understand it they switched to a shorter unit sometime in 83, so my guess is all 245 shafts are the same.

Chris's comment confuses me... but it does not take much to do that.

I can email you a prepaid shipping label and you can ship it in a Rubbermaid tote and just zip-tie it close (which I'll obviously pay for) Please let me know! I can send for a pickup so you don't have to go anywhere

 

Thanks

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
