    E30 Tranny swap?

    Ok guys, I am still in the market for an e30 but was wondering, if I still keep the m20 engine, which I'd like to do because I hear its very nice to turbo, would I be able to swap the tranny out from a newer car to get a better, smoother clutch?

    huh?

    there are tons of clutch options for the stock M20 tranny. no reason to change out the transmission to get a different clutch..

      Not to mention the fact that the engine is the primary driver as to what flywheel and clutch you can use.

        Well the one e30 I droves clutch seemed tough to engage. Is that because its a heavy clutch or something? Not too familiar with cluthes. I'd just like something thats easy to engage and not tear up my knees so bad

          You might have driven a car with a performance clutch, which can be a good bit stiffer. Or that car might have had a problem with its clutch hydraulic system. I don't find the OE clutch to be hard to depress at all. Or for that matter a ClutchMasters Stage 1 clutch. But I have driven E30 racers with higher performance clutches that were noticeably stiffer.
