				hi all at the oof i was given a 2.0 manual omega yesterday and just wounderd if the flywheel and gearbox would fit my 2.5td 
 
 many thanx
 
 .....G.......... :y
- 
				yup it would, think the 2.0 box is rated to 250 of torques?? - R25? (need someone else to confirm), so unless you go nuts with it on a track or chipping it, should be fine.
			
- 
				chears tunnie, no im not going nuts in it just my family bus lol

 thanx again......G...... :y

				What other gearboxs are compatiable on omegas, I mean is the manual gearbox on a 2.5 v6 the same or compatiable on the 3.0 and 3.2 V6

 3.0/3.2 is R28

 Both r28 as far as i know. :y
- 
				i'm breaking a 2.5 td estate ( manual ) if you need any bits  :y
			
- 
				Since doing a few mods to the engine, I've been considering a manual conversion.
 Do I need to stick with a 2.5 box or would a 3.0 make more sense? (215 bhp at last R/R)
 If a 3.0 box should I find a prefacelift doner car for the clutch, Bell Housing and cylinder slave etc etc or will a 3.2 be ok?
 Presumably the loom will take the conversion and I'll have to get Tech 2 to tell the car it isn't an auto any more?
 
 Any ideas?

				Clutch and flywheel will need to come from a 2.5TD manual car.  There is no chance the 2.0 or 3.0 flywheel will fit on a BMW engine

 Yup, i used to say go for the R28, but as i have been corrected the R25's are fine and will last ok. Not like puting an AR25 behind a 3.0....
 
 If your going to abuse it, and use on a track the R25 won't last long, but for everyday use it should be ok

 I thought they had gone metric  :-/ shouldn't that read Nm (Newton metres) ?

				i'm middle age now ( just ) 
 
 still do old stuff  ;D ;D ;D

				The R25 is the box that is fitted to most manual 2.5TD.  Although it has a different bellhousing to fit the BMW engine.  This is also fitted with a dual mass flywheel.  The best bet is to find a 2.5td breaker and use all the parts from that

 Thanks Tunnie and Tigers - I'll stick with the R25 - it's going to be for everyday use.
 
 Cheers and Happy Christmas!
