Re: Alternative gearbox for 2.5 or 3.0

You are so right ! 1.1 final ratio ! and the Opel Senator 30i also uses the exact same box.
The output is splined where the BMW version has a flange.

Ive had this box waiting for a looong time..Remco,you now have a PM!

Re: Alternative gearbox for 2.5 or 3.0

Ive only ever used the BMW E28 , E34 535i Manual box. We got a special E28 535i that was introduced to try (snigger....) fight of the GTV6 30l in racing here.This BMW was fitted with the shorter ratio box and had the dogleg shift with first gear left and down.
