Transmission  for sale.  You may want to review this page regarding 5 speed conversion part requirements and procedure.

Thanks.  I have seen similar write ups, I just couldn't tell from your picture what was included in your sale (mostly my fault as I am not a mechanic, so don't know exactly what I am looking at.).  I guess I am ultimately trying to determine if I will need to spend another, $100, $500, or $1,000+ to have all the necessary parts for the swap.   I'll try and do a little more research to educate myself.

Any thoughts on the shipping cost  to 02476  and what is the asking price ?

[Wgmack]

Asking price is $750. Shipping to that zip code via greyhound freight is around $120

What do you know about the condition of the transmission 

[germancarguy]

Would you take $600 for the transmission ?

Wgmack,

 

Is the 5 sp/ 245 trans still available?

So, haven't heard from you, assuming you are declining my $700 shipped to Seattle 98105

Just an update, the transmission was installed and would not shift. When dissassembled a broken bearing was found and a roller was jamming the shift forks. To make matters worse the bearing is unavailable, would you happen to have any transmission parts ?

I believe BMW of south atlanta has the bearings for the 245.

 

This link has tons of 245 information and pat numbers: http://www.bmw2002.net/pdf/Getrag245.pdf

They (nor does any new parts supplier) have any new ones.  This is when MM and a few others start machining the box to fit a new dimension'd bearing.

 

Unfortunate situation, but not unheard of when dealing with used (ie core) parts.  Best of luck Paul, hopefully the original poster will offer some sort of partial compensation.  I'll be watching to see how @Wgmack handles this.

I spoke to Paul, the purchaser of the transmission, this morning.  I offered to make it right and I don’t think there are any hard feelings.  It sounded like he had a potential lead on a bearing from Europe.  I will be checking in with him again.
