I don't have to worry about any of that

I did. All I have is the key sign below the low beam, and I still press the brake pedal to start the car instead of clutch. Otherwise it's just like any 6MT cars that came from factory.

Very interesting.. maybe it won’t be so much trouble as I was expecting!

I don’t think you need to spend 25k on a sequential. Just give those Supra boys or John Shepard to fix you up something. Not going to be cheap but won’t cost no 25k

LOL, I won't be getting one anytime soon.

What will final gearing look like, top speed in each gear?

phunk · 01-16-2020, 05:19 PM

Overall the gearing is very similar to the 6MT. 5th gear will remain the 1:1, and then there are 2 overdrive gears now. First gear is much lower, second gear is just a little lower, and then after that its in the same ballpark.

This is getting good! I need to pour more money down black hole.

You can try it on my auto... It's at Seb's shop lol.

This is great for the platform... Hope you have great success.

I am lucky to have the built F.I. 7AT... It has never failed me in over 3yrs at 650+whp.

phunk · 01-25-2020, 06:34 PM

We shall see how it goes. I am really really hoping that we can have these in our cars this March or worst case April for testing. So far things are looking positive. Material has arrived here for the adapters, and I have acquired some tooling that I needed specific for the job. I am working on the work-holding strategy right now and then I can start machining.

Zezus · 01-27-2020, 03:15 PM

oh wow this is pretty rad. I suspect the a/t guys are going to be real interested in making this work.

solidus · 02-04-2020, 07:33 PM

So much want!!!! So now I gotta start working on an explanation for why I'm about to have a BMW transmission under a carpet in the corner of the garage behind the gun safe.
