i know i haven't been to up with the r3vs. But ill try this time around. For the last two days ive been helping a friend with a 5 speed swap. ive been thinkin. is there any way possible to stick either dog leg, straight cut gears or even a sequential gear box into my E30? ive been kinda searchin around. and i know the m3 race/rally cars have them, but is it possible to do to a stock Getrag for under 5k?

yes, but why not just get a modern 6 speed gearbox. you can shift it clutch less if you are really good (you can clutchless shift a G260 if you have the timing right).OBD1 M54/M52TU swap as a M50b25

under 5k? HAHAHAHA
but seriously, i doubt it. I don't know why you'd want just straight cut gears unless you're destroying transmissions... if we're talking a full dog box, then it would make sense. And I like the regular H pattern just fine, I wouldn't buy into the dog-leg thing. You might give PPG a call and see what they would be able to do, but the boxes for the WRX/STi aren't cheap. They have a helical 5th, which I think is pretty dope.

Wanganstyle, i think it would be cool to have a sequential gear box for like a rally car or a track day car. Idk i was just thinkin and if a had the money Jaxx i would seriously think about doing it. It was just a thought, and tryin to get some input on what would work or notsigpicDiRTYE30-RALLYE30

Straight cut gears can be done if you want lots of gear whine.
A sequential would be hard to do for less than the cost of a nice E46 M3. (And aftermarket sequential boxes are made for race cars and have service lives measured in hours.)2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4WD LBZ/Allison

I'm guessing with the sheer amount of transmissions that ZF produces some aftermarket gear company like PPG will have a setup to fit a Zf Sg320 for racing use. A Zfsg320 will fit anything pretty much even a M20 pnp.OBD1 M54/M52TU swap as a M50b25

Getrag 260 (straight cut gears)
straight cut gears in transmission built by my shop. A little noisy but very smooth
