hi to all, will a early (1973/974 ?) gears / shafts / rear end cover fit into / onto a 1975 on gearbox case ? or is the early box's completely different inside than others years ? i was informed that the early 1973/ 74 gear mechanism was a bit of a nightmare comparing to the 1975 on. any help appreciated

You can find answers to these and more on the Internet.

Are you asking if a late /5 4 speed stuff will be useful on a 5 speed box? No. It is a completely different transmission.

Your right. He CAN find answers to these questions on the internet. In fact, he just did!

The MaxBMW fiche shows the rear cover fitting all transmissions up to 1980...

sorry what i left out was the gearbox in question is the 5 speed box "not the 4 speed".
