[QUOTE="auxoura, post: 35099, member: 3445"] Hi there, This is what happens when you buy without doing your research. :damnmate:I purchased a M20B25 halfcut with an automatic transmission and was planning to do a swap in my current E30 which has a M40 and auto transmission. I also purchase another E30 with a M40 and a manual transmission hoping to scavenge and swap the manual transmission from that car into my current car. It was a well priced running condition car and only after buying I did some research and found that they don't fit.Was wondering anyone knows where I can get a Getrag 260/5 and would also like to ask a few details that I hope to clarify with the sifus here.- Would I require any additional parts from the M20B25 manual transmission such as longshaft or rear differential or etc?- What other alternatives do I have? I also read there are multiple Getrag 260 transmission and getting a wrong one have a bad ratio, tilted mounting or even modifications / unable to PNP bolt onI am relatively new to modifying BMWs and especially which to mix and match and hope to get some light on this and maybe who can I go to get this done.:)ThanksSila tunjuk ajar kalau kurang ajar...haha [/QUOTE]
