Getrag 240 m52 swap driveshaft and tranny questions

[lifeiskaos]

i dunno not a 100%. why dont you put them by each other and look at the differences also i would look at the t/o bearing, i dunno if you still have to use the euro 323i or the stock S/M5X one, if you were gunna go that route. btw the getrag 240 will blow after 240lbs torque.... no good for b00st...
getrag 250 .83 5th gear and supposedly the stongest tranny.

see if he will ship or something..

i've heard horrible things about the getrag 250. the 240 isnt for my turbo m52. this is for another a nonvanos m50.

sorry for the thread bump, but i've got a question:

so it's impossible to use an e36m3 clutch/flywheel in a getrag 240? i just bought a JB Racing aluminum flywheel with a 240mm friction surface that i was really hoping to use in a getrag 240..

none at all. There is a lot of good info on the internet and unfortunately there is a lot of bad info too. The biggest prob is that 2 swap cars w/ the same parts can turn out completely different, ie like flipping the CSB. Just do as much research and learning as you can and use all of that to guide your swap. Don't use it as a step by step guide.

Thank you for your input. I have been using the net as a primary source of info for my swap and was surprised that this was so blatantly wrong. I turned it around today and it fit perfect.

getrag 240 FTW!!

Figures. Whats with everyone saying it should be on backwards? The u-joint is on the other side though. Did you have any clearance issues?

put the csb on the right way. Mine is on the correct way and everything sits there fine

I am in the middle of doing a swap like this and I'm having a problem with the driveshaft. It does not seem to want to sit straight and is bent out slightly towards the driver's side. Its a 91 318is, M50TU, G240, E36 325i 5 speed driveshaft with e30 center bearing on backwards. It seems that the center bearing is offset to one side and that by flipping it around has caused a bend. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how was it solved or not?

thats a cold pic of patrick swayze in your avatar hahahaha

those with 3.73s whats the take off like compared to the 4.10s and what do you top out at?

M52 with getrag 240 and 4:10. I top out at 205 kmph.

[SamE30e]

I've never drive one with a 3.73, and I haven't really driven the car working properly, I've only driven it with no o2 sensor for like 5 minutes. I'm putting my exhaust on tonight and getting an o2 tomorrow. It should top out at about 130mph.
