Jim Moore Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hi Guys, Quick question for you old-school RT owners. Did the 96 RT come with a silver transmission or a black one? Thanks, Jim Moore Link to comment
bmwnomad Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 It's black, the GS and R had the silver transmission. Link to comment
flars Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I thought the black transmission showed up with the 1150RT/6 speed. Link to comment
Jim Moore Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 I had a 97. I sure don't remember that tranny being black. I guess maybe it changed from the 96. Link to comment
dirtrider Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hi Guys, Quick question for you old-school RT owners. Did the 96 RT come with a silver transmission or a black one? Evening Jim I can only remember seeing black on the 1100RT, in fact I just installed a rear seal on a 1996 1100RT for a friend last week & it had the original trans (it was black). That's not saying that BMW installed all black on the 1100RT as I suppose they could have used some 1100R silvers if they were short of blacks. Link to comment
Jim Moore Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 OK, thanks guys. I'm considering buying a black transmission out of a 96 RT. I was wondering if the black meant that it was a replacement, but I guess not. Thanks again, Jim Moore Link to comment
Charles from Cobourg Ont Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Hi, I too was wondering what does the colour means. Knowing BMW thinking I'm sure it has to have a specific purpose. Link to comment
