I've got two different manual gearboxes I can choose from if I do an m30 swap on my tech 1, which one would you use?

One is a part number 260.0.1302.92
The other is 262.0.510.00, apparently a dogleg known as the 265/5

Which would you use and why?

depends what diff ratio you have, 5th gear on the dogleg box is the same as 4th gear on the overdrive box.

That said, the dogleg box has much nicer ratios so it's worth sourcing a suitable diff ratio to match.

Will it be a road car or a track car?
