ninermatt Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 It should be a straight swap. Link to comment
USAF1 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 You could probably sell it to Steve Mallinson then!! Pat Link to comment
SWB Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I have the chance of getting a 1998 r1100gs gearbox, will it fit my 1995 r1100rt. 3rd gear is playing up and wanted to know if the gs gearbox would fit. thanks The only difference is the color, as I recall. You could contact Bruno in Canada. He seems to be able to rebuild that "unrebuildable" $1000 intermediate shaft better than new, which includes the infamous 3rd gear that seems to fail in every failed BMW transmission. You could send the gear set to him, and do the rest of the work, or farm the R&R out locally. Just a thought. My tranmission arrives tomorrow; got my fingers crossed, that it FINALLY shifts s-m-o-o-t-h ... like a Honda. Link to comment
Myse7en Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 thanks guys you have been a great help. I will change the clutch and its nosiy release bearing too at the same time, and lube the splines. its a bit far to send the gearbox away to canada to get it repaired as I am now living in Ireland, but thanks for the tip.
