its expensive.....

it cost 3000 more frosties than i paid for my e30

Plus your not really gaining anything, its the same final drive gear as the 260 that is free with your e30. The first gear isnt much deeper than the 260 either... i just dont get the point of spending as much money as a used saturn to get one extra shift.. athough it would be badass

I think it was available in the US on very late E36 M3s. I saw it on a 99 M3 vert on ebay a while ago iirc

That's just a euro-spec six speed. Nothing really that special at that price...

It wasn't. It's a euro market part, basically cool so you can say "I have a euro market part".

Yea, they are not even that strong. If you want 6-speed, get one out of an E46 M3. It's the same as the Supra (proven high hp), the only difference is it has a different casing.

does the e46 six speed bolt up or is there other modifications needed

[FredK]

I think BeirBrennerE30 has a 6MT from an E46 M3.

there was a guy that put one in his vert. i think he said the bellhousing bolted up exactly but a custom driveshaft and shift carrier was needed.
Edit: it was a Z4 six speed tranny. may be similar though

I didn't do a write up but that is the finished product. the second photo is the size diffreence of the transmissions.

I'm running an E46 M3 6-speed in my E30. It bolts right up! Just longer, so you'll need a shorter driveshaft.
