Looking to do a 5-speed upgrade of my 3.0 cs. Send pics and asking price.

Forgot to mention if the transmission is the Getrag 265/5.
That's what he has, and that's what you need, along with some other parts! If you aren't doing this yourself you should talk to @sfdon about the install.

Yes I am. Do you have all the required pieces?
you might want to familiarize yourself with this tech article written by Carl Nelson on the subject.

its a fair amount of work, its not just a simple bolt on change. i will echo the recommendation to take the coupe over to Alameda and hire the professional services of the SFDon and his team. you will get the work done correctly the first time, you will make an invaluable friend who knows coupes like few others.

And Don guarantees his transmissions and his labor, can't beat that.

I have to go to Phoenix and was poking around online to see what was out there in the way of bimmers and i saw one on Phoenix Scottsdale Craigslist for 450. Might be worth it as a core for sfdon .

Digression .....
When I was a kid(pre radar!) learning to street race we always covered the speedo so one couldn't read it.
if one knew how fast one was going one might get scared and slow down....
So...who needs a speedo.

out of curiosity, can't you take the stuff off of a 4 speed and put it on? i guess it has to have the internal gear.
It's a straight swap
Interesting technique for removing the shaft gear. Large hammer and medium screw driver

I'd grab that in a hurry. I'd go for it but after the trailer load of parts I just bought, my budget is shot!

Oh come on Bert, just ramp up the sales a bit
Not me, just came across my radar in an unrelated search.
That being said, it sounds like someone in the Phoenix area should grab that? People seem to be crazy for those.
It makes me nutty seeing all the good vintage car stuff available in the southern US.
Bit of a long shot buying a trans you can't test tho, no?

You can't use the speedo drive from a ZF in a Getrag. If you have a 4 speed Getrag, that drive will work in the 5 speed. Or so I've been told.
I bought a rebuilt 265 that didn't have the mechanical drive and got Carl at La Jolla to find the me the right stuff. Not cheap, but I didn't want to fool around.

As an example of how outrageous some Getrag 265 prices are getting to be, here's a simple bearing for the Getrag on eBay.

Ovide (whom many forum members know) has really fair prices so I'm guessing this isn't inflated.
