My first post here. My GF's daughter totalled the 82 528e with a manual tranny and we went out and grabbed an 86 535i with a manual tranny that acts like the synchros are bad. It grinds when you shift, clutch seems OK.
Anyways the 528e has a Getrag 265/6 and the 535i has the Getrag 260/6 tranny according to the Bentley manual. The Bentley book says that the trannies will bolt up to either engine but driveline lengths vary.
How about a total swap-out of tranny, shifter, driveline etc...
The totalled 528 has only 90K miles on it. We bought it from my sister who had it since about 1984. It's a good parts car, the tranny is good.
How about repairing the 535i trans?
BTW, I have a spare parts 528e thats good from the radiator back (excluding hood and fenders, their bent). If you need parts, let me know.
Thanks
