Quick one. Can the ratios from an E36 5 speed manual box be transplanted into an E£0 gearbox casing?

E30 box being G240 and E36 being G250.

Historic race regs most likely.

Good question, I have a slightly notchy but otherwise working G240 from a 320 here if you want to try to find out.

Otherwise did the G240 not carry over to any of the e36 or z3 range?

Edit - G240 was in the E21, E30 and Opel Manta...
