engine and drivetrain 5 speed close ratio dogleg

[Stu]

There was some discussion the other day about the white roundie for sale, apparently with a 5 speed close ratio transmission, and how rare and expensive those trannies are.  This one just came on for sale within the last hour--BIN price is pretty good.  I bought a regular 320i 5 speed trans, and a LSD differential from this seller, all within the past 2 years, and both worked perfectly.  I also bought a LSD from this seller for a prior car, some 8 years ago, and again, it worked fine.  I have no affiliation with this seller, just wanted to pass on this sale and my experience with him.

i always want to give myself a 'forehead slap' everytime i recall the time i passed on a rusted out 74tii missing the injection bits, but with an unnoticed 323i close-ratio 5 speed tranny in it.  he wanted $800 for the car, including delivery to my house; i offered $600.  he declined.

 

yea, it had the tii struts and brake booster and rear trailing arms....

 

at the time, i already had a driveway full of POS shells.

by the time i came to my senses, it was gone.

 

to add insult to injury, shortly after missing that deal, i reaquired a stock '75 02 which would have been a great repository for those bits...

 

i wouldn't be surprised if the eBay seller you identified wound up with it as that car was essentially in his 'stomping grounds'.

 

 

i guess i just 'threadjacked', big time...

Shit, I should have bought it, gloated, then offered it for sale here. . . .

 

Just kidding.

 

Oh yeah, it came with a driveshaft for a 2002 with serviceable u joints, and more.

Yes zzzmmmzzz is a great seller.  I've bought an overdrive 5 speed and also a 3.91 LSD from him in the past.  Both parts were top notch.

Remember that this transmission is not the original 2002 5speed dogleg. To use this one you still have to knock out the tunnel to make room for the clutch slave cylinder.

Last one is for M20, wont fit the M10.

Have one E21 M10 somewhere... maybe its time to let it go to finance the new EFI system...
