Who makes the 6 speed manual in the 335i?

AutoWrapsLV · 10-14-2013, 02:34 PM

Just curious as to who makes the 6 speed manual tranny? Is it the same one found on the m3? I must have googled and forum searched if for hours and got zf and gm. But sooo many conflicting answers all at once.

I think the manual is a ZF unit. The automatic has some connection to ones used in GM cars.

Automatic on a 335 is a ZF, unless you have dual clutch. GM makes the automatic gearbox for the 328s.

I've heard it's crafted by God himself.

But seriously, it's a Getrag type "D" unit.

YES THAT'S IT...I stand corrected.

I don't know Sh*t about the car so don't listen to me, I just drive and break it

GS6-53DZ - THGX is the naming for the trans in the car.

Found this
The E60M5 and E63 M6 transmission is GS6-53DZ - THGR
The 335i transmission is GS6-53DZ - TJGD

I'm assuming the last 4 characters are for bell housing and input shaft changes ??

That matches the limited information I have found. its suppose to be nearly identical to the E39 M5 transmission.

Getrag as mentioned above

Yea, looks like the TJGD is the old part number(discontinued) and it is now THGX.

ZF = 335
Getrag = 328

Search for GS6-53DZ - THGX
