yep

your 3:64 diff will make the gearing really short though.

Yea its a 3:73.

Trent and Stu recomment sticking with the 260 compared to the ZF 5-speed, mainly due to design flaws and they are difficult to shift under heavy loading and weight transfer, the shift feel is crap, and they are a bit heavier than the E30 Getrag.

Also, I'm guessing that the shifter would also be sitting at an angle, and i'd need an E30 M3 driveshaft too.

I guess i'll just rebuild my 260 then :ph34r: Anyone had this done, whats it going to cost me?

Here are the ZF specs:

First 4.21

Second 2.49

Third 1.66

Fourth 1.24

Fifth 1.00

Reverse 3.89

Clutch Size (mm) 240

Final Drive Axle Ratio (:1) 3.23

Would also be damned tricky finding a 3.23:1 E30 LSD.
