The Joy of Six: E46 M3 6-speed transplant into the E36 M3

[Rob@UUC]

So "that guy" comes rolling in with his M3 Evolution 6-speed transmission, all happy with himself. Yeah, we're all jealous, you've got six gears and waited a month for the gearbox to come over from Europe.

Tsk, tsk. Could've gotten all the parts right out of a US junkyard, probably at a better price. Now that E46 M3s have been around for a few years, more and more of them are getting dismantled and the parts are ripe for transplant into your E36 M3.
