Give Neil a ring on Monday at All Gears in Worksop near Chesterfield 01909478581 he will give you the options available. I don't know how available the internals for that box are but give him a call and he will be able to sort you out.

The time has come I feel to sell my M6, I am just not using it as it should be used and there is nothing left to do to it. It just sits in the garage, goes down to the BMW show at Gaydon once a year and maybe some other local show. I love to drive this car but every time I put a 1K miles on the cloc...

Sounds like you have a similar problem I had some time ago except mine was third gear.I tried everywhere to get a replacement Getrag 280, no luck. I eventually dropped lucky when I was told about 'ALL Gears' in Worksop UK. They are a family firm that repairs Getrag gearboxes. They do a complete gear...

Just ordered my tickets for Gaydon -13th August 2017, just wondered how many may be going this year.

Will see you there John.

I fully intend to attend again this year, I ordered my ticket last month from the CC but have yet to receive it, must chase it up tomorrow. I think Ted Robinson will also be in attendance.

Would love to join you but unfortunately I am away for most of March.

Took the car for an M.O.T and was delighted with a pass and no advisories. .
Now to get her taxed and were good to go for another 12 months.

Just remembered this one I went to look at a couple of years ago, damaged repairable they said, not an M though. VBAEC820308187161
Another one to cross off the list.

David.

Nice one Mark, glad you got what you wanted.

David.

Give Neil a call at All Gears in the UK, look at his website for his contact details. www.all-gears.co.uk He deals with Getrags.

Some more pics from the weekend. Nice to catch up with everyone and make some new friends.

Fortunately I've managed to locate the parts I need from Australia, so I can keep the original box.

Hi m6Dave

Have sent you a PM, have you received it.

David.

There is a bit of history to my 280/5 box. After seven trouble free years it developed notching going into third gear, I changed the oil for Redline MT90, after a while the notching progressed to changing down from third to second. I removed the box and it was the syncros that were worn, but also th...

Thanks for the input and support guys, will keep you posted as to which way it goes.

David.

Hi Ed

Thanks for the reply, yes I am trying to keep it original but at least there are alternative options if all else fails. I have not given up hope just yet of finding an E28 or E34 M5 box to take the input shaft out of.

David.

Anybody got a Getrag 280/5 gearbox for sale.

David.

My Getrag 280 gearbox has been stripped by All Gears in Worksop and have found the input drive shaft gear is badly damaged, we are trying to find another input shaft from somewhere, any ideas would be appreciated. BMW no longer make this part and there are non in stock in this country. The part No i...

I still have them on mine, I only do around 2K miles a year and they never seem to wear, I also have two spares in the garage.
The cost of replacing them just does not add up for me.

David.

Wow Phillip, your bike certainly brought back memories, I had the CB250 in identical colours back in 1972. I couldn't afford the 750-4 just a dream. I loved the Honda bikes and now I've retired I decided to rekindle my love of motorcycling by purchasing a used Pan European ST1100.

David.

Hi John
I'm up for a ramp day at ML. I've got Hendon penciled in and reserved my spot at Duxford.

David.

Took the car for its MOT and got a pass with no advisories.

David.

Hi Andy and welcome to the forum.

Looks like a nice car from the pictures. Keep an eye out for the UK meetings where the E24 owners meet up.

David.

According to my parts list invoice they used # 23, M3 chain slipper part number 11311317335.
