    Default M20 and M30 transmission question

    Would an 5-spd getrag 260/5 bolt up to the M30 enigne, but have a different ratio than the Getrag 260/6 that came in the 535s?

    I looked on realoem, but I want to know for sure and what would be the downfall to using the transmission...

    Someone who maybe done this before?

    Thank you all

    I dont thing they are interchangeable, maybe between diffy years of the 525 but not across the board to a 535..just guessing though.

    Realoem shows a same exact transmission picture.. Long as the bolt pattern is the same on the bellhousing - it should be fine.

    click the picture then look at the part number, I doubt they would use a 535 trans in a 525 car, dude go for it!!!! Im all for it, just make sure it will work, look at pressure plates and clutches too.
