Hal - out of curiosity, do you think there is a fundamental flaw in the existing platform or just trying to solve an availability issue?

It is mostly an availability problem. I have seen very few for sale over the last couple of years and they were all over $200 and in pretty rough shape. And usually @sfdon snaps them up before anyone has a chance to get one!!

Back in 2017 I bought a new BMW 265 shift platform from La Jolla for $75. Those are long gone now.

We will be ready to ship out the Getrag 265 shift platforms very soon. Here's a pic of the unprocessed main part. The entire part will be made of heavy gauge stainless steel and will include the nylon ball cup that holds the shift lever. It looks like cost will be $175 shipped.

NOTE: the other parts are components of our linkage systems.

They're here!
And then, they're gone!


We had a limited supply of the Getrag 265 Shift Platforms in stock. I informed the list of folks who had committed to buying one, and the shift platforms sold out in less than two hours.
If you miss snagging one from this batch, please go ahead and Pre-Order so you will be the first to receive one from the next batch which should be available within 10 days.

Please note that we also have the Getrag 265 Transmission Support in limited stock. If you order both on the same order and use the coupon ":freeship", you'll get free shipping in the US but you must order both at the same time to get the discount.






Thank you for your support!

Hal

The Getrag 265 Shift Platforms and Support Bracket are back in stock! We will fulfill all pre-orders this week but we will still have ample stock in inventory.
If you are thinking about converting to a Getrag 265 5-speed in the future, you might want to grab one each now as the production date for the next batch is months out.
