Anyone with a non sport M20 gearbox out the car

[E30Adam]

Please could you have a look and see what numbers are printed on the bellhousing and also under the output shaft.

Cheers

The side on mine says:
260.0.1346.90

and under the output shaft:
260.0.1060.91

from a 325i Touring

Cheers lads.

This is strange, it seems that sport and non sport gearboxes are identical from the exterior.

In this case, how on earth do you tell a sport gearbox from a standard one?

what u can do is put it in gear.... turn input shaft like 10 times and see how many times the output turns round and calcuilate the ratios from there......

its the only sure way!

Quite a few tourings did have sport boxes in them so you could be right.

Does anyone have the ratio's of a sport and non-sport box?

Adam look for a number on the bell housing, this is the GB number and is the only real way of telling.

Cheers Andy, will have another look. Any ideas where this number might be and how I tell from the number what type of box it is?

[cabrio327i]

Adam look at the reply i sent with the photos it tells you all you want to know mate, Dave

[cabrio327i]

Forgot to ad, the identification code for sports boxes is early ones TNN and later ones HM, cheers Dave

[E30Adam]

Cheers Dave, the links don't seem to be working mate, could you have a look at them for me.

[JazzMan]

So does this make mine a sport box? Confused as well here

[cabrio327i]

Ok guys, To put it in a nutshell you might say, if your box number stamped on the clutch release cylinder side of the clutch housing right on the outer edge finishes with either TNN early box or HM later box its a sports one ok, cheers Dave
