VR6 2.8 AAA AYL (M) Gearbox

This VR6 2.8 AAA AYL (M) Gearbox is a used manual transmission, removed from a running donor vehicle and inspected by our technicians rather than shipped unchecked. Fluid condition, case integrity, and shift feel are all reviewed prior to listing, giving you a documented starting point instead of a total unknown.

Key Specifications: Housing material and internal gear ratios follow the original factory specification for this application, not an aftermarket reproduction. Transmission type: Manual. Gear count varies by production year and market for the VR6 2.8 AAA AYL (M) Gearbox; check the tag on the housing or send us your VIN and we will confirm before you order. Compatible engine(s): VR6 2.8 AAA AYL (M) Gearbox engine variants. The VR6 2.8 AAA AYL (M) Gearbox was offered across more than one drivetrain layout, so double-check whether your chassis is front-, rear-, or four-wheel drive before you place the order.

Performance Characteristics: Manual gearboxes like this one keep the driver in direct control of gear changes and avoid the torque converter, valve body, and solenoid pack that give automatics more ways to fail, which is a big part of why they stay popular in workhorse and budget-rebuild applications.

Common Applications: Fitment centers on BMW models built with the VR6 2.8 AAA AYL (M) Gearbox driveline referenced above. Since this casting can carry more than one control or spline revision across a production run, the safest path is to confirm against your existing unit or send your VIN so we can verify compatibility before the order ships.
