    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..

        No way your gonna fit a 240mm setup inside of a 228mm bellhousing with the starter in there also.

          ... do you know what you're talking about? people put 240mm clutch setups in their getrag 260 all the time, which was meant for 228

            really damn well from the gearing aspect the zf is 1;1 and the 250 is .83 5th gear.... and ive personally seen a friend blown first gear on a zf...



            @ 3:16 is when first gear blew and thats a almost stock e36 m3...

              interesting. i didnt know the 250 had overdrive... this could change things

              i'm still curious if anyone has the e36m3 clutch/flywheel with a 240 though

                do you? A 240mm clutch will NOT fit in a getrag 240. The getrag 240 and 260 are 2 totally different animals.

                  you're funny. look a my first post, i'm asking if it will, because i dont know. that guy assumes since the bellhousing is made for a 228mm, you cant fit a 240mm, well that is a bad assumption, because the 260 is made for a 228mm, but fits 240mm just fine.

                  how do you know a 240mm clutch wont fit in a g240? i believe you, i'm just curious. i'm just trying to minimize misinformation on the forums. personal experience is infinitely better than "oh i think i read somewhere, or my friend told me..." :D

                    if you don't believe me go look on m42club or better yet try and fit one in there yourself. Yes the Getrag 260 was made for a 228mm setup but the bellhousing is large enough to fit the 240mm. The Getrag 240 is a much smaller than the getrag 260.

                        The guy is just trying to make sure it's been tried and failed, and not just misinformation like a lot of the stuff in this forum is. Nobody specifically said they have tried it and it didn't work. Everyone chillax

                          An E36 Getrag 250 has a 1:1 5th gear just like the ZF310/320.

                            Here's some info that may or may not be of help:

                            "The big six 240mm flywheel and clutch won't fit inside the Getrag 245 or 240 bell housing without machine work to clearance the bellhousing. Or you can buy a 240mm clutch & flywheel from metric mechanic that will fit inside the G245 bell housing. Your other option is to use a 228mm flywheel & clutch but it will only hold about 225 ft-lbs before it slips, so you'll need a heavy duty clutch."
