Feeler: 95' zf320 trans

[spiDmang]

Not really sure which route I'm gonna go with my 24v swap, so I wanted to see if there would be any interest in my zf320 5-speed trans.

How much do these trans usually go for? Considering it has roughly 165-175k?
Shifts great, makes no noise, and is in overall good condition.

Lets discuss!

They are normally worth a decent amount. I would say post this up on e36 forum and it should go fast. I am enjoying my zf320 but I have never driven on a sideways g260

What would you consider a decent amount? I personally wanna use the g260 because of the rebuilt shift linkage/z4 shifter combo/m20 single mass LW flywheel/s3.73 lsd

I reused all my shifter parts. I dunno how reliable this is but the person who bought this ZF trans paid 850 for it.

Here's a little breakdown of what i have so far and the cost
labor- $2,000
m50 100k miles ecu and other goodies- $750
ZF transmission- $850
M3 clutch- ~$300
F1 racing 14.5lb flywheel- $255

Funny he put 1400 into the trans and 700 into the motor

JESUS.

Why are they priced Sooo high?

One word. M3

I think price is a reason most people stick with G260.

Ian, note that came with the driveline from the E36 M3, too.

Ah good to know! Doesn't really give any drunken details... So 500 for a transmission? Still seems a bit steep but it is M3.

Surprising, right? It was a little steep, but I am pretty sure that it was all purchased from a German wrecking yard, so prices will be steeper than your average CL dumbass.

Interesting.

My biggest dilemma is what combo I should use.
For the zf, I don't plan to upgrade the dual mass flywheel due to budget constraints.

Makes sense. Brad you are welcome to try out the ZF trans in my car.

I hear you there, I was amazed how cheap this F1 flywheel was.

How much did the f1 flywheel run you? If I stick with the zf, my plan was just
To replace the clutch components and slap it back together. BUT the flywheel is tempting. And I absolutely hate dual mass buuuuushiiiiiiet

Hah ya I drove around on an M42 with dual mass for 5 years.. LOL

Previous owner had the clutch and flywheel done. Here is what he posted regarding price

M3 clutch- ~$300
F1 racing 14.5lb flywheel- $255


Only been driving on it for ~100 miles. I have no shift boot or rubber seal in the shifter area, can hear some chatter from the flywheel but it wasn't noticeable with the boot on

Here's a link to a guy asking $450 for his ZF320 and $90 for his driveshaft.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. the ZF310/320 came in tons of cars, 325i, 328i, 525i, 528i, etc. etc. It's not an "M3" transmission.

if you paid $850 for one you got ripped off.
