WTB: Getrag 265 bellhousing

Post by Sharrah »

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a getrag 265 bellhousing for my e28/520 with M20 engine.
Current type is for M30 / required is for M20.

Or does anyone have a DIY guide for making an adapter?

I have 6 bell housings. I'll look and see if any of them are for M20. An adaptor will be difficult because it would need to be thick enough to bolt to the engine and still have enough room to bolt the the bell housing to it. You will run out of transmission input shaft length, The shifter will not line up with the hole in the tunnel, the rear trans mount will not line up and the driveline will need to be shortened. It would be easier to just get a later transmission with the M20 bellhousing.

Thanks for the all information, so a bellhousing is what I need then. Honestly, I know that a 260 is more easy to get/fix but I have this 265 already laying in the garage.

Yes, I've been in contact with some but no luck.
