Rear section.

BTW, all these pics where taken by my phone in a garage at night. Not bad, huh?

Top gear on the upper right is reverse. The next three gears going from right to left are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, respectively. The gears on the bottom are used to transmit the gear ratios around the input shaft shown in the second pic.

Cool pics, especially from a cam phone. Same guts as the M3, right?

Im not sure if getrag builds the m3 tranny? but I know that certain vette's and skylines use getrags. And before a newb askes, no they dont work on different vechicles. Getrag is an independent company that produces some top notch trannies for some pretty big companies. Nice stuff man. -pdang

Bimmer has "zf" and getrag trannies. Not sure which comes in which bimmers but I know the m5 has a getrag. Although just because another car has a getrag doesn't mean its the same as the supra tt one.

bimmers also have GM trannies. (E36 325i does for sure) built by Opel, GM's german line.

Hmm... Looked for pm's from you but never received any.

I have motor mounts and the cross member brace. As long as the block and head are undamaged, I'm still in the market at our agreed price.

Thanks,
