#5. One more six speed tid bit - from Gary

Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2007 09:45:15 -0500 From: "Gary" <probikeguy@probikeusa.com> Subject: One more six speed tid bit The six speed box shifts WAY better than the five speed. I was completely shocked at how much better it feels. I also put a Rouge SSK with the the weighted shift rod, and a weighted Factory BMW knob (with six gears on it) makes for an amazing shifting E36M3!!! Gary

She recently R-n-R'd the clutch/slave/pilot bearing with new BMW parts. While the box was out the following BMW repair kits were installed. BMW 23117525048 and 07119937227, can someone correlate these numbers to those found in the ZF numbers from the link that circulated recently? What condition would these BMW part number correct?

The Forester XT 2.5 turbo wagons are fun and have a little more hauling capacity (though they are kinda fugly). I have had jeckyl/Hyde experiences with VW products, though the Golf and passat products are very driveable. Golfs can be very entertaining as well for FWD. Acura RSX, though it's a fairly small platform. BMW 325 wagons. Kinda gutless, but you keep the chassis feel with some hauling capacity. may be pricey since they're pretty new.
