4 SPD to Getrec 260 5 SPD Conversion


J Mart

Recommended Posts

I see a lot of talk about the 5 SPD conversion with the Getreg 265.

But My son and I found Getreg 260 5SPD's to replace the standard 4 SPD's

My question is there are a number times that you need to do or get ( shorten Drive Shaft, Enlarge Tunnel, Change Clutch Cylinder, etc. etc.

But what are the other items that need to be done to complete.

1 What about shifter and shifter platform, does the stock one work or do you have to modifiy the 5 SPD one ? does it need to be cut down if so how and where does it need to be cut down at ?

2 Throw out bearing does this need to be changed to a different one for the 5 SPD ?

3 Transmission support, there seems to be one for the 265 that you can buy  but no one talks about the 260 ?

4 electric speedo conversion  because the 260 does not have a cable drive ? Is there a kit and what needs to be changed in the dash

 

We are new to the conversion so this is why I am asking. We are going to convert 2 cars at the same time his 73 and my 69, which I have to convert the pedal box from manual to power

 

These are the burning questions

A getrag 260 out of an E30 will not bolt to an M10- they're M20 and later bell pattern.

 

There may be one with an M10/30 bell pattern, but I had thought that was called a 265, with the removable bell.

 

all I got.

    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
