    Getrag 245? is has close-ratio dogleg 5-speed

    Hello


    I have a gearbox and the rear of the casting says:


    53 BMW(logo) 225

    242.0.291.00


    After searh work I have find out this is a getrag 245 close-ratio 5-speed gearbox.
    It has the dogleg shiftpatern so 1st towards you
    The 5th gear is 1:1
    It has also an removable bellhousing as you can see.

    My questions are:
    Can it be that there is a oilpump in it because there are oilconnections as you can see on the pictures.
    Is this a competition gearbox or a street production car gearbox?
    Is this real a Getrag 245?
    On what car was it and on what car i can find a bell that fits the gearbox (it need modyfing anyway so please all bell's/cars)?

    Photo's of the gearbox

    I don't know where the tran being running on, it was with a car we bought.
    I only know the input shaft (we call it in dutch prise as) is for ford european.
