Appears to be a late model just like the 240.0.0266 we have in our own article. Give that a thorough read for all the details!

BTW avatar appears to be working ok!

Yes! indeed it's only one number different, 3 instead of 2!
Could it be this?

I am wondering, are gear ratios on this box the same as on the other ones?

And I also can't see your avatar

I have read that article multiple times. This and the pdf about the specs of the e21, are like the Bible to me. I hope that it's the short 5speed! How can i know for sure?

It seems like this one. I really believe giorgo that you are a very lucky guy, now pray for it to be in good shape

Could this be for the mechanical speedo?

Wrong side for the speedo.

Did you find any markings around the top of the bellhousing that include two letters?

I have found inside the bellhousing two numbers: 1.1

Not there. Just on the edge. Look at the photo I posted. You should find the letters ME or MF.

After removing a thick layer of dried motor oil, this came up.

And of course you can just push a long screwdriver through that pin and test out the gear pattern, see if that 5th really is there

The mystery is over mates, this is a Getrag 240, 5 speed manual gearbox from an e30.

Couldn't see a connection for the speedo drive on your pics. So this now means you have an argument with the seller?

You've got screwed... to bad.
