Disassembling my E30 Getrag 260 transmission 

great source of information with this video and manual rebuilt my trans . thanks you

Thanks for this video. I am 99% thru swapping my e30 with a 'rebuilt' g260, and it's not shifting into 1st or 2nd at all, or reverse every time. Definitely will use this when I have to pull it apart and find what was done wrong.

Excellent tutorial!

Thank you 🎉

I just need to replace the rear cover. Looks like I can’t just unbolt it and put the new one back?

Oh man thanks! I read the disassembly procedure on this trans, but you have cleared up so many questions. Thanks

Hello Thank you very much for your video and really precise explanations Sorry in advance if I ask you a question that you have already been answered I improve a lot in English but I understand it better written than heard I just reassembled my first engine entirely an M20B25 and did the break-in cam all well was but I heard a clack clack that took me a while (and almost a heart attack by telling me that I had done something wrong with the reassembly of the engine) before I found out it came from my getrag Pedal clutch pressed no clac clac pedal clutch released at neutral claclaclac I have a question for you My E30 is a 325i 2wd with a getrag 260 I saw you these a getrag 260 of a 4wd probably a 325xi is what the intern is exactly the same? Before reassembling it on my E30 I change all the seals of front and behind the transmission (input/ output shifter axis) if I disassemble the transmission must I change them again (they have turn 15 minutes as 2500 rpm at neutral transmission then 500m speed 1/2/3 2500/3000 rpm max for the break-in I haven’t driven the car yet to find out if there’s a problem with synchro There’s a way to know if synchro are changing once the transmission is open to make your tool with the pipe you use to push the primary axis you find the base or? And my last question there is better bearing than the originals to be on that the default does not return Thank you good day and thank you again

How much do you think a job like this would cost ?thanks great vid!! I dont think ill atempt doing my input shaft bearings,n output,..awesome vid

My 260 isn’t grabbing 2nd …it goes in and when I let the clutch out it grinds ..I’ve read it can be the synchros …is that a difficult replacement?

do you have the bearing numbers available?

Thanks for this video man, yesterday I was driving from work and the gears where bouncing out from gear 4 so when I finally came to a stop it wouldn’t select any gear, so I checked the shifter lever that goes from the gear to the gearbox and the seal was leaking bad, so when I yanked out the lever that whole long rod that selects gears came out with any idea what I should look at ? Thanks

It may be long, but the main thing is that you can do your own work on your E-30.

Добрый день. У меня такои вопрос когда снмаете заднию крышку там стоит шаиба с выемкои с внутренеи стороны на валу ина шаибе там должен стоять шарик или нет ответьте пожалуиста. Привет вам из Казакстана.

You know your using the wrong snap ring pliars

Amazing video man. i hope i don’t ever have to rebuild mine lol

Hi there I'm building the tools required for this and wondering if you had an email I could contact?

Is 3rd and 4th gear on the same bearing? because mine has this issue whenever under load in 3rd and fourth theres a chatter coming from the transmission and I am guessing its the bearings

Great video series, have subscribed....... Please can you advise on the problem with my Getrag 240 5 speed gearbox, before I strip it down, as per your video. I can select gears 12345 ok, but not reverse. I cannot move gear selector stick, out of the neutral position, i.e. it won't move far left then forward?

Where cab you buy parts for the getrag 260 ? Thanks

awesome video mate, but please be kind to your hands, hands aren't hammers. Your body will thank you later :) That tool you made is f*n awesome!

i have a similar getrag in my car and its popping out of 1st and sometimes 3rd as i release the clutch, if i really force it into 1st it will stay there, otherwise it will pop out almost every time, even if i start it in 1st and then release the clutch it pops out of 1st, could this be an issue with the shift forks inside the transmission? if i put it almost in gear on other gears it will pop out which makes me think something is preventing it from going all the way into 1st

how do i get the input shaft seal loose if its stuck?

Doubt anyone will answer but someone told me the e30s getrag 260s have a better gear ratio n stuff than the ZF 310. I know the ZF’ scan handle a lot and the getrags from the e36s will blow with FI. Someone offered me a trade for me 320 ZF for a e30 260 getrag but I don’t honestly think it would be worth it. I know what I got & what it can handle but really have no idea about the e30s transmissions

I was told by a shop mechanic that rear case was pressed in with crazy pressure so they wouldn't be able to rebuild my g260.

Nineteen Eightyfive Garage Can you please tell me if this procedure/internals will be the same on my 265 5 speed box? It is the box with removable bell-housing originally from a Jaguar XJ-S. Love the videos and now subscribed!

Thanks for your detailed video. Have been searching online for info regarding rebuilding the Getrag 260 for a while. This gearbox was a factory fitment paired with a GM 3800 V6 Ecotec engine in my 1996 GM Holden Commodore utility here in Australia. The car has around 270,000 km on the clock and the box has developed a bearing whine. Local gearbox repair shops aren't interested stating parts availability issues and difficulty splitting box. Unable to source parts locally that I am aware of, so I will order bearings on the FCP Euro site using the bearing numbers you have listed in the comments. Could you confirm if the following shaft seal numbers are the correct ones?: Input = 23121209311, Output = 23121205342. Thanks

Hello i have getrag 220 with 3.15 diff. would it be better if i replace my 220 with 260? gear ratio would be the same?

Great vid, mate. Is the process similar for a 250?

Where on the getrag 260 can i know if its a green, red or no label?
