Hip -- thanks for the link. Wow, that would be great if you'd like to sell me the leftovers. I'm thinking that'll likely be what I need.

 

I'll shoot you a PM.

 

Thanks!

HipMF -- the preference for the e21 trans is for the mechanical speedo drive. For compatibility with '02s in case it gets swapped around down the road. It is a 'nice to have', not essential.

 

A e30 m10 trans will work just fine in the e30!

 

(I'm still looking...)

Thanks for the welcoming reception everyone.

 

JC, I'm north of LaCrosse a bit.

 

HipMF, good guess -- I've considered a M42 swap several times over the years,  but I'm sticking with the M10. The g240 trans is for one of my e30s, it came with an automatic.

 

A g245 would bolt up, but I'm not sure if the driveshaft splines have enough travel to make up for the extra length of the transmission. They are also more popular with the '02 set.

Here's the presentable '02

 

 

As for the other 2 2002s, one is a project, and the third is cheating -- it is my e46 dd.

Nope, I'm in the Mississippi river valley.

Hi everyone,

 

I may not live in WI anymore, but used to and I didn't get far, I can see your fair state outside my window. Thought I join up and see what's happening in the area. I have a few 2002s and M10 e30s. Bought my first '02 out of Stoughton many years ago.

 

Anyway, I'm also looking for a M10 5-spd g240 transmission. '83 e21 preferable, but others will do. Core (bad transmission internals) is ok. I'll wander over to the WTB section...

 

Thanks!
