Gearbox beam for BMW 5-speed gearboxes for Volvo 700 and 900 series.

This gearbox beam fits bolt on in the Volvo 700 and 900 series and can be attached in several places longitudinally and therefore fits several variants of the standard 5-speed ZF, and some Getrag gearboxes from BMW which are found in many models from the early -90s and into the 2000s with several different engine options.

See image example and scaled photo.

Also fits the longer 5 speed 530D box and also the 6 speed manual Getrag box fitted to the E39 540 and M5 (S6S 420G). However, we have not tried all different motor combinations, but since the beam has many attachment options, it fits most.

NOTE. that there is a different slope on BMW’s petrol engines and diesel engines. It works well if the gearbox is rewelded with a new sweep to another engine. But you can e.g. don’t put a diesel gearbox on an M50 even if they fit together because the gearbox will then tilt 10 degrees if you don’t re-weld it.

Always check that the cardan runs in a straight line against the support bearing after assembly. Otherwise, the hard disk may wear out prematurely.

ATTENTION! It is very important that the gearbox is welded at the correct angle for it to fit perfectly.

Rubber buffer as a spare part you can find here.
