    Default Getrag parts

    does anyone know anyone besides BMW that sells getrag and ZF gearbox components, I'm mainly talking bearings and synchros. and somewhere to find a service manual for these gearboxes. perferably someone not who will deal internationally.

    EDIT, no ZF are nothing to do with Getrag... they just own everything else.. .

    Looks like Getrag are actually in bed with Ford and DANA. DANA now own the old BorgWarner factories in Australia, which had later become known as BTR Engineering. Incestuous industry really, + carnivourous too..

    do they? i thought GM owned getrag, oh well i'll take your word for it actually i might see if GM Baden (liebherr cranes agent) has contacts in ZF.... since the use ZF's boxes and their agent in australia has an office in ardnell park as well......... its amazing what spending 5 million dollars does to your business relationship

    I am interested to know where you are getting Getrag parts ... as far as I found when having mine rebuilt ... BMW would not sell Getrag parts and the same for the final drive. It was either new or rebuilt units.
