m30 sport gearbox parts

[dubownerbilco]

can anybody please tell me where i can buy gearbox spares for the m30 sport gearbox?

As before i removed the engine it had problems shifting into third most of the time, ie: sometimes it would just pop in but 99% of the time it would crunch and not go in at all!

so rather than buy another gearbox as i know sport boxs are pretty costly! i thought the better option would be to repair it, but...
where the hell can i find parts for it?!?!

thanks in advance!

Have you took one of these gearboxes apart before? There quite a job to get to bits.

There's an Irish guy who's documenting his e30 M3 rebuild (this is by now a epic 32 page thread) who decided on the title: 'E30 M3 minor rust repair'
I've been pissing my pants reading his comments. Anyway the guy does have attention to detail.
You'll find his notes on the e30 M3 gearbox (which should be quite similar to yours) here:
