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!

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?

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?

Wrong side for the speedo.
Did you find any markings around the top of the bellhousing that include two letters?

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?
