Are these two interchangeable?
I looked on realoem, and the e36 transmission looks like its made by ZF?
Does our getrag 240 fit?
-
should they're the same blocks. I have both transmissions and both engines but i haven't checked...

Yeh, thats what I was thinking.
I'm just asking because I just sold my 5spd locally to a friend with an E36 M42.
-
his going to have some looong gear ratios
-
along with a shorter tranny case and different slave cylinder needs
-
I believe they both bolt the same, but as nick mentioned, the e30 is shorter AFAIK.
-
along with a shorter tranny case and different slave cylinder needs
well its a turbo, so i'm sure that will be more than welcome...
however, what do you mean by shorter case and different slave?
will he need a longer driveshaft?
-
the spiggot shafts are different on the e30 than e36

Not sure what this...does it mean that it won't work in an e36?
-
Evrything what is different is interchangeble form E30 gearbox. I driving E30 318is with gearbox from E36 318is. You will have problems with crankshaft end bearing (replace with correct) and clutch salave cilinder (rod is too short from E30, mine was custom made)...
-
Is the "crankshaft end bearing" the pilot bearing? Will the slave cylinder shaft from an e36 work when the e36 tranny is installed in an e30. And just what is a "spiggot shaft". I am getting ready to put an e36 tranny into an e30. Need info.

I dont know.. You can try to install E36 slave cilinder..
Do not forget that you need clutch spring clip and lever from E36 gearbox.

Yes it's the pilot bearing.
I don't think that you can use the E36 slave cylinder shaft only as the complete cylinder has a different design on E36. I have a E36 gearbox in my 318is E30 and I use the complete E36 slave cylinder.
-
The G240 from my E30 has started whining, probably due to the bearings in the gearbox. Hence, I'm comtemplating whether to put in the E36 Getrag 220 gearbox...
Only concern is the prop shaft. Do I need to change the prop shaft now mated with the E30 Getrag 240 when I put in the Getrag 220??

Do you have any issue with the prop shaft(long shaft) ?? direct fit by using
e36 front & rear long shaft ?

You can adjust propshaft lenght..
-
You can adjust propshaft lenght..
just to double confirm.. You mean adjust the existing E30 propshaft?? Cos daniel's question was on the E36 propshaft..

E36 propshaft is adjustable also...

I understand that they are adjustable...
So you used back the E30 propshaft with the E36 gearbox??

I used all, NOT ONLY BACK, E30 driveshaft with E36 gearbox in E30 :)

Thanks... That was the confirmation I was looking for...

oh thank god...
I think i shouldn't have any problem installing e36 box onto my e30.
I need to buy the aluminium shifter balancer too
I'm gonna use 87' 240 manual long shaft. hopefuly it can be fit as well.
-
romkasponka, actually I was trying to look for the thread on the transmission change.. Can't seem to locate it..
Want to know also about the lingkage rod. Are u using the one from the E30? Any modification required?
-

or have to use the e30 one ?
the aluminium shifter balancer

Propshaft is the shaft from CSB to trans. I dont think this can be changed. I assume you are talking about the rear section that is splined?
I tried fitting the E30 driveline in the car with a G250 installed and the propshaft was too long. The CSB was too far behind the chassis mounting points.
Do people weld in new chassis attachment points for the CSB?
-
In my case driveshaft was shortened through splines and was short enough to install E36 ZF 225 gearbox. In future I am planning to replace it with one peace driveshaft in order to move engine backwards and save some weight.
If you miss few millimeters you can elongate the holes.
