Help identifying gearbox! now with pics

[SHAZ325iSPORT]

Guys got this gearbox but cant identify what it is

Part number is

2620051090

225 1.3

Getrag

Looks very similar to a dogleg gearbox

[Grrrmachine]

Have you tried googling? The 10-digit number gives some interesting results

[Andyboy]

The 262 bit means it could be anything from an old 4 speed to an E30 M3 box. The only I.D is the series of letters and numbers stamped into the edge of the bellhousing.

Tried google

Came up with loads of stuff

Some say its from a e28 m5 or e30 m3

Just need to know what it is exactly so i can sell it

[pacerpete]

Lets have a pic, the linkage on a M3 box is very different to an E28 one.

PS I have an excellent low mileage tested M3 box sold with a warranty if somebody does not want to play lucky dips

I dont know what its from but the gearstick arrangement looks similar to e21/e28 ie the plate intead of a bar on e30

Some say that leg belongs to The Stig, who used this very gearbox to carry out high-speed test runs for the forthcoming series of Top Gear.

it has a removable bellhousing, so its not a common box

[SHAZ325iSPORT]

Dogleg 5 speed.

Gearbox mount looks quite far forward, possibly off a 6 cylinder?

Have you read the thread ?

We now know exactly what it is.

[SHAZ325iSPORT]

Any idea on what its worth?

The problem is it is untested and undoubtably has worn layshaft bearings , at best.

Put it on ebay and state untested, no guarantees and see what happens. It should still make 3/400 quid, possibly more. They are very sought after.

thanks pete

should i list it as a e28or e24 m5 gearbox?

the last thing i want is to list it wrong and then having to refund

Shaz, it is correct for either an E24 635 or an E28 535. But it can also be used in E30 M3s if the M3 specific linkage, bell housing and mounts are used. The intermediate ratios are slightly different but the bare box is identical .
Many other performance cars used a variant of this box.

Put Getrag 265 'dogleg' in the title and the victims will find it !

Thanks pete your a legend.

And once more!

Without this, you will not know exactly what it's for. Could be a sport dogleg box, could be overdrive - they look virtually identical. Some have syncronised reverse gears, some don't.

That's why you need the gearbox serial number, stamped into the edge of the bellhousing.
