found contradicting info, anyone clear up a G240 question?

[2.5-12]

So, Im looking to put a getreg 240 (m42 e30) trans into my Ti which has the zf 250. Looks it will work minus the pilot bearing size and output flange to guibo bolt size. Transmisison lengths the same? Im using m20 single mass flywheels / starter so should have no issue there.

I think that is correct. the only thing that appears different is the location of the shifter arm connection on the top of the trans and you will need the G240's slave cylinder. M10 bolts as well on the guibo.

stock s52 dmfw/clutch/pp does not fit in the getrag240 housing, looks like ill be running the zf after all!

g250 and zf310/320 are the only two trannies with the big input shaft.

g240 and 260 have the small one.

[2.5-12]

that is helpful, actually.

I assume you still ran an E30 CSB, but not reversed?

from what I gather the 240 and 260 have a 12mm i.d. pilot bearing
the 250 and ZF have a 15mm i.d. pilot bearing.

I did not read the whole thread but...

I used:

M50 NV
Getrag 240 ( with 240 trans brace )
Shift support arm from a E30 320i M20
Shift rod from a E30 320i M20
E36 325 manual D shaft ( 3 holes front, 4 back ) I did not reverse my CSB/ Ran my M42 guibo

all e30/z3/4 shifters work fine

Clutch, all m20 stuff, single mass flywheel, early eta starter, PILOT BEARING m20 and M20 TO bearing

[2.5-12]

g240 has a 13mm spline tip, getrag 250 has a 15mm. pilot bearing change still required.

is the g260 even larger?

guess I'm going with a 250 after all, such a headache.

I just used 10mm id 12mm od sleeves and it fits perfectly. Ordered from mcmaster carr

cool, thanks!

if you drill the output flange out to M12 diameter, you can just run an E36 325i guibo though from what I gather.

thats what i did, guibo fits fine

^You'd have to use a different guibo. I'd suggest sleeve the m10 bolts which is likely what I'll do. I'm sure there are some out there that have just bolted it up since it's widely known that the e36 driveshaft bolts right up and is the one to use with the g240.

[2.5-12]

so is it better to sleeve the M10 bolts, or is it better to drill the G240 output flange for M12?
