Can the 4-speed on my 2800CS be rebuilt by any transmission shop or is too tricky for these guys and it is better to take it to a BMW specialist?
Current box is a Getrag and it sounds like the bearing is out (loud rattling when the clutch is not engaged, goes away when clutch is depressed). Other than this, it shifts fine. That's why I thought I'd take it to have the bearing replaced.What´s the problem with your current box?
yes, also when driving.Does it also make noise when driving?

I agree with all of the responses above.
Are you sure that it is the trans making all of the noise?
A very likely cause could be the throw out bearing. Which would give all of the symptoms you noted.
Have you checked and changed trans fluid with thicker viscosity? Does front seal leak? Getrag's are very strong but are now old.
