As above...is it possible to retro-fit an smg gearbox to an E46 M3? Reason i asked is iv been offer'd a p/x for my evo. And the other car is perfect apart from the fact its a manual and i wanted an SMG. Its the right colour, milleage, options and has some nice bits including csl wheels, miltek exhaust and sport cats and downpipes etc.

So any idea if its possible to do and if so what type of costs involved? Im thinking its not likely due to all the extra's like the steering wheel frown Any input is appreciated.

Cheers

I believe for starters :

Dash, Gearbox, Hydralic pump, possibly main ecu as well.

In short, i would say its a massive job.

Put it this way, it'd be cheaper to add the other bits to an SMG car the right colour...

Cheers guys..thought so. Not a problem finding the right car..they're about. Was just conveniant i was offered a p/x for my car which saves me selling it first. I just really want an SMG.

Cheers anyway.
