Getrag 265 and 3.25? Sideloader

[sfdon]

Arrived at pick and pull yesterday.... In a '82 633csi.

I took the tranny support and the speedo cable bolt. I left the tranny and diff for one of our forum members whomever needs them.
Still there this afternoon.
Merry Xmas !


Hint- Stockton is the city.

Is that the combo I should be scouring the North East for?

It's the big boy Santa package deal.
I only see a few of these a year.

If nobody claims it I'm sending my picker out to grab it for myself!

errr....

Is the 265 the 5spd OD or CR tranny?
Can never remember.....thx

 

[sfdon]

No idea- I have too many right now so I left it

CR transmission only available in Euro cars and typically mated to 3.09 LSD.

Sorry for the thread jack, but I have always read that the CR one is not much fun to live with. Just wondering if an engine with triple webers, cam and headers would be a lot happier with the CR gearbox? I have a 3.45 diff, so wonder what the revs would be in top gear at 80MPH?

Would I be through first gear too fast with a CR Box?

FWIW: Have been running a CR box with a 3.45LSD for years, lotsa fun and sportier/quicker combo than a 5spd OD box with a 3.91LSD that was in our E9 vintage racer. 2,3,4th were a lil long getting outta the corners.

80mph = 3500-3750rpms in C/R 5th or 1 to 1 ratio, and admittedly not the ideal interstate freeway set up, but fantastic on twisty & sweepy country and mountain hwys.

If ya feel 'less hurried', just start out in 2nd. Its no trouble at all, just drive it like a quick/close 4spd....
