Update, I have now replaced the entire shift linkage and still can't
get the tranny into reverse. Also, the tranny acts like it's going
into first and second but the gears don't engage anything. I'm going
to guess at this point that I bent a shift fork while fighting the
shifter. Just my luck. Question now is, do I get another tranny or fix
this one?

fix the one you have. that way you wont be buying what could be
trouble.. these tansmissions are getting old now.

Alrighty then, getting ready to pop this sucker open. Anyone else
had a Getrag 260 apart? Any suggestions as to a source of parts?
Output shaft nut was a pain in the ass to get off, tomorrow I'll
remove the rest of the bolts and peek inside...

I'm hoping to hear from any of you who've worked in these before...

Never did get it open. Got another tranny and put it in. Will put a
little more effort into it now as I don't care how bad I screw the
thing up. Ran into problems when that was done but I can now sum them
up

CRANKSHAFT REFERENCE SENSOR...

This little bastard has caused me ALL kinds of grief... Will be
checking my 89 325i tomorrow to see if it's possibly the cause there
too...
