Re: Calling all Getrag boffins

Obviously a random/unknown one then, the gear selector rod attached looks to be from a 320 so I guess that's where the box came from.

Calling all Getrag boffins

Does anyone know what a Getrag 240 with 004002 AMT stamped on the bell housing came from ?
These letters are not in the wiki so I have my doubts as to its origin, looking to possibly use it for an M52 swap.

Thanks,
Nick.

Measuring a propshaft length

Hi, does anyone know where to measure from when working out the length of a prop. The lengths given in the wiki don't specify, i.e stud end to stud end or input face to the flat of the uj ?

Just trying to work out which prop I have actually been sold.

Thanks,
Nick.

Re: Running but without the blue fuel pump relay fitted ?

Thanks Brian, I suspect some bodge wiring then (spent some of its life with the previous owner as a rally car) I did check to see if the empty socket had a green/violet wire to it as per the e30wiki. I will double check this evening though. My understanding is that the relay is used as a safety feat...

Running but without the blue fuel pump relay fitted ?

Hi, early this year I took on a 1990 318is as a bit of a project. It runs ok but very rich and in my diagnoses to this problem I noticed the middle relay of 3 (blue) under the scuttle is missing. When I fit one it clicks like mad and makes no difference to the engine speed/sound on idle. Is anyone a...

Re: E34 sump fitting

You will need to fabricate a simple bracket from below the inlet manifold out to the dipstick tube. A google will make it clearer.

I never competed so it is far from optimised and will definitely need correct springs fro...
