I need some help identifying my getrag gearboxes.
The numbers I found on the first one are: 240.00.460.90
On the second one it says 4.1 225 220.0.0225.94

We need the numbers stamped into the bellhousing. The first one is a Getrag 240 (318, 318is, 320). The letters will tell us what it's from. This is what they look like

Here are all the numbers I found. There were no numbers on the bellhousing on the second gearbox.

New to the forum

I owned a 325i produced in Oct 1986. Many options including mtech1 and sport gearbox according to the VIN number. I am trying to confirm the gearbox is indeed a getrag 260 sport. According to the drivetrain wiki page I should find a serial number with 6 numbers + 2 or 3 letters. For a sport gearbox I should found TNN or HM. The number I found on the bellhousing is 000335NN so NN not TNN. Any one could help me to confirm if this a sport gearbox ?
