 Transmission choices for S50B30
You could basically use any transmission that came on an E36 car. This would include the 5 speeds that came on M3's, 325s or 318's. In addition, the euro 6 speed from E36 is an option. Zionsville offers a kit to use the E46 six speeds that are now available as well.
I would re-iterate that while I don't RECOMMEND keeping the TI's manual, I do know for sure that it works, and that it won't blow up right away since one of the local ones has run it for several years. "Your mileage may vary etc etc etc". It offers interesting gearing for sure, and also the advantage of low cost, and low weight compared to other options.
Estimating arrival of these motors in 5 weeks, one of them is a rare Group N engine with blueprinted cams, special head gasket, special ecu etc. |
