E36 evo 6 speed box on an M20 lump?

[Simon13]

Just thought of this as my missus drove my car home just now.

Partly because she is always in the wrong f**king gear, but i've always thought the 2.5 could handle and extra cog on the m-way personally

You let the missus drive your car

It could fit yes, but you'd be dealing with the 10deg angle thing but the other way.. have to use the heavy ass dual mass flywheel as well

[Turbo-Brown]

Sure you could machine the standard M20 flywheel to accept the Evo clutch!

Simon,

You wouldn't gain anything on the Motorway.

6th in the 6 speed is the same ratio as 5th on the M20 5 speed (approx 0.8:1). All you would have is an extra gear lower down.

I guess you could combine this with a different diff ratio, but it's probably not worth the trouble of messing with the gear linkage etc.

Ian.

thanks sounds better to have an engine to pull the 6th cog like a matching 3.2 lump then!

Cheers guys
