I recall having a discussion that (ironically) I started...However, I could not find it in the archives. To your point about part numbers: I never saw those either.
It was suggested that the 6 speed box from the euro e36 M3 would work. I'm hoping that that wouldn't be the only transmission.
Any idea on what ration differential would work?
My impetus for doing this is that in 5th gear I'm at 4,000 rpm...At redline, I have a lot of power left that's (seemingly) unusable because of my current differential.
