[HOW TO] e46m3 6-speed your e30

[Blackangusinc]

That Foxlingo add on is awesome! Thanks for the tip.

The trans brace on 300mm.de looks like it would cease to brace in short order if used as anything other than a wall ornament.

You can use that DS with the ZF transmission, they are talking about the getrag here.

I was shipped the wrong DS. The e36 auto M3 DS works with the 6-speed.

Which year models 6 speeds will work for the S52 swap?
I have seen E34 getrag 6 speeds from 540i and E39 6 speed for sale. Will these work? Any other year, options to look for?

thanks!!

If you use Firefox there is a plug in called Foxlingo that will translate the website automatically.

Anyone making the cross member for this?

FYI, I have read that you can use an automatic e36 M3 DS for this and have it bolt up. I purchased one just to see and it is way to short. Either I was sold the wrong drive shaft or this is not possible.

The prices are all over, I got my 6 speed for a G. But that was a SLAMMIN good deal.

Anywhere from 1k up to 2k.

What's a good price for the proper tranny?

[jrdeamicis]

If you use the e46 330 Tranny, you need a flywheel from a Z4, X3, X5, 330 from 3/03 and some other cars. You can make an adapter to use a S50 flywheel but I did not use that in my swap.

Also you need to use the Shifter carrier from the e30 since the 330 tranny uses dual mounting points instead of single like the e46 m3. It must also be shortened.

Just some fft.
