jrhone Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Getting ready to do the 5 speed conversion in a few weeks. I have had a known good 245 5 speed in the garage for about 5 or 6 years. What should I do, if anything to prep the 5 speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 +1 on all gearbox seals. After you install it, you don't want to find out it's leaking and have to pull the gearbox out to install a new seal. https://www.bmw2002faq.com/forums/topic/85737-5-speed-getrag-245-what-seals-should-be-replaced/ G-Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echappe Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Depending on known mileage and running condition you might want to look at input, output and layshaft bearings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
