Getrag Gearbox

The BMW E30 M3, Getrag 265 gearkit is a complete dog engaged straight-cut gearkit. Designed according “Prodrive” specification, to fit the OEM Getrag 265/5 gearbox after minor modifications. This gearkit can handle up to 400 Nm of torque, and is HTP (Historical Technical Passport) proved. Getrag 280 & 265 History and Design The 280 Getrag was used in all first generation M5/M6 & M635 (Euro) models that used the S38/B35&B36 and S88 (Euro) engines. The Getrag 280 can best be described as a hybrid of a Getrag 260 and 265 transmission. The front and back transmission case sections come from a later 260. Available gearboxes on E21’s were the Getrag manual units and ZF automatics. Standard equipment on most models was a 4 speed manual. Overdrive 5 speed was optional and became standard equipment on some top of the range models in later years (1981-1982).
