Not easily or cheaply.

I know straightcut gearbox's are a hell of a lot of money but they do sound the bollocks!!!!!

I don't know of any straight cut gearkits for E30s, the cheapest way would probably be to use a Ford gearbox with an adapted bellhousing, (Not easy at all.)

oh well blown that idea out the window was gonna get ben to put a straight cut gear box in

There was a company at Autosport that did sequentials for BMWs. Can't remember the name for the life of me, I will have a look through my crap and see if I can find a catalogue if I ever picked one up.

They won't be cheap though. £6k upwards I would expect, along with 1000 mile rebuilds.

HOW MUCH!!!!! a straight cut gearbox 1st and 2nd gear is only two grand for a Esc Cos!!!

Couldn't you just get a knackered diff?

Thanks man! You just saved me the load of hassle it would have been for me to keep my word

That escort cossie box as you say, just straight cut 1st and 2nd. These things are the full monty, fully sequential 6-speeds. Clutchless up-change rightness!

Agreed, they're the mutt's nuts. Dog changes, flat shift etc, good choice of ratios.

bona fide straightcut sounds for £0.00 of your hardearned cash

Nice Idea, but i'm sure I could spunk £9k elsewhere on the e30 first.

I remember Clarkson doing a review of an old mini fitted with a straightcut box and a 160ish bhp lump

sounded like a touring car on speeeeed
