    tranny question

    out of the few different choices of manual transmissions for the M30 swap, what´s preferred? I, mean, based on personal experiences and such.
    I´m about to purchase one (it´s pretty much the last "big" item I need to finish the swap) and have to choose between the 260/5, 260/6, and I also found someone willing to sell a 265. I heard somewhere the 265 is the hot one. Thanks guys.

    I prefer the 260/6 because I keep my
    stock drive shaft and mounts, it's smother then the 265, and
    it's a whole lot cheaper if you don't buy something with the "m3" mark up.

      Depending on the mounts used the g265 is a little less "plug-and-play". Not a major concern though.

        thanks for the input guys. If someone else wants to chime in, it´s welcome. Guess I´m going for the 260/6 then.

                I can definitely feel the difference. Perhaps it might be luck
                but that's my opinion.
