F%*#!!!

Goodbye transmission.

:(

[Matt]

Can you limp it up here? I have a 'box for you. We can get it in tonight.

All is not lost. :wave

[JordanMD88]

Welcome to the club, now put a Zf box in it... :)

[kendogg]

Dayum yo. That blows, wtf happened?

[ReiheSechs]

Excuse to upgrade!

[dcvee]

Eh, that sucks. On the bright side, sounds like you got some great help getting her fixed up tho!!

[a32guy]

You were still Getrag? I'm surprised you lasted this long! :)

[bubela]

Yeah, getrag lasted 50 miles for me. Don't worry, not that hard to do. You'll need the driveshaft to go to the ZF. Out with the old and in with the new in a day.

[Bris328is]

damn it man!--think of the oppertunities:buttrock

[So Live]

6 speed or bust.

[PlayerN07]

6 speed or bust.

+1

E46 m3 six speed or bust!

[Keaton]

open it up and take some pictures.

i thought the getrag could handle a fair amount of power??
i have a low mile getrag that will be put to my 2.9L turbo stroker and dropped into the car so does this mean i need to swap trans after i put my new setup in.

[n24tg]

6 speed or bust.

:cashwalle

Hopefully that statement isnt TOO appropriate though. :help




I would love to put a ZF in there but thats big money. I already found a very cheap Getrag (thank you Matt) so thats the plan. Should be driving by Monday.

*sigh*

[Matt]

Yeah, we should open up the bad one. That'll be fun.

[kendogg]

Yeah, we should open up the bad one. That'll be fun.

I already called dibs on that via AIM :shifty

Besides, you've seen how destructive I can be today :buttrock

What is big money?
What is cheap?

dollar wise??

Think 'college kid' maybe??

A 6 speed would darn near bankrupt me. ZF trans + driveshaft I assume to be $800+. Cheap = 1/4 that. $600 is enough for a diff and most of an exhaust.

I see.
I'm learning.

Remember...
college kids get student loans. :redspot

[bubela]

I got a ZF for $400 and a driveshaft for $100. Needed a flex disk though, that was another $100...
From what I hear, used auto part shops don't even bother pulling them out anymore because no one places orders on them. (ie, ZF's don't go bad often)

[mm325]

I think the zf was also in e36 and e46 328's so should be plenty around>try complaining to a non-M e46 owner about the 800.00 lsd, they're paying around 2500 to diffsonline etc.

[Furious]

yup, im part of that club as well. im currently on a ZF

[themadhatter]

correct, e36 m3 and 328 all had them as standard boxes.

[SiGmA]

yup, im part of that club as well. im currently on a ZFSame. I shat two bone stock. The first just made a lot of noise, the second broke something. The ZF, it has more miles, and its only issue is that sometimes 3rd=5th, but I've learned to not do that usually. At least it doesn't do 5th=3rd.

[n24tg]

Update: Two days later the car is up and running strong again. Took the car to TRM this morning where Matt and I spent all day taking the car apart and putting it back together. We even got the subframe reinforcements welded in while we were there.

Big thanks to Matt and the guys for helping me get back on the road so soon!
