3YP (M)

The 3YP (M) is a manual transmission supplied by Tovesageneral Motors as a tested, used unit pulled from a running donor vehicle rather than sourced blind. Before it is listed, we drain the fluid, inspect the housing and internals for wear or damage, and function-test shift quality wherever the unit allows it, so you are buying a known-condition transmission instead of gambling on an unlabeled yard pull.

Key Specifications: We keep the internals to factory spec rather than substituting aftermarket parts, so ratios and housing dimensions match what originally shipped in the BMW. Transmission type: Manual. We list the gear count as application-dependent for the 3YP (M): several ratio sets were fitted across different markets and trim levels, so confirm against your old unit or VIN before ordering. Compatible engine(s): 3Y engine variants. Since the 3YP (M) platform spans multiple drivetrain configurations, confirm your chassis's drive layout against the listing before ordering to be certain of fitment.

Performance Characteristics: Because it is a manual unit, wear items are largely mechanical (synchros, bearings, the clutch itself) rather than electronic, so diagnosis tends to be more straightforward and a competent transmission shop can usually service it without specialized diagnostic tools.

Common Applications: This transmission is matched to BMW vehicles built around the 3Y driveline noted above. Because gearboxes are frequently shared or lightly modified across several body styles and model years, confirm the bellhousing bolt pattern, input shaft spline count, and electronic or hydraulic control variant against your own vehicle before ordering. Send us your VIN and we will double-check fitment before your order ships.
