Hey guys,
With s14 being down, I was hoping someone here can help me ID this transmission. Ive tried to pull info from a few sites that looked credible, however I am still a bit confused. The transmission in question is from a Euro 1979 635CSI (according to my research its compatible with the big inline 6's and the s14). Before I dropped the trans, I shifted it into each gear to verify it had the correct pattern. I felt 3 gears towards me, and 3 gears away when in the car, with reverse and first being almost in the same line, and two more linear patterns (2-3, 4-5). This had me completely convinced that it was a close ratio dogleg, so I bought it on the spot. Although I ran through the gears, I have the following concerns now that Ive looked at the transmission at home:
-I read up on them an saw that 5th gear should have a 1:1 ratio. I ran out to the garage to check, and I dont know if my trans is showing a 1:1 when I spin the output shaft and watch the input shaft.
-According to: http://bmwe30m3.net/wiki/index.php?t...omparison_info, all the other identifying marks listed on the site in red are there on my gear box, so that checks out. Whats different is the location of the GETRAG stamp on the case.
-I dont see anywhere on my gear box where its stamped 265/5, and I still dont understand why the dogleg gearbox is called a 265/5.
-The part number on my box starts with 262, although from what Ive read, this is common and I should disregard that part number as the dogleg units were built in other stamped casings.
Any help would be great. Im banking on the fact that this trans was pulled from the correct car, a euro sport 6 series, and my quick once over of the shift pattern before I removed the transmission (with it out I cant really shift through the pattern definitively, all I have is the trans and bell housing).
Im rebuilding a 1974 2002, and this was planned to be attached to the s14 waiting to be transplanted, hoping I made the right choice when I bought it.
Any help would be much appreciated!
