Okay, so I've decided to go a bit mental with my 3dr Mk3 Escort. It's now going Rwd, with a Volvo T5 engine  Wondering what 'box to use tho... I know people say to use the M90 from the 960, 2.5 six pot car, but they are like chickens molars to find, and silly money when they do come up.... So, anybody got any other suggestions??  |

Had considered using the box from an e36 m3, or possibly one from a Supra Turbo, anyone know anything about these? How strong they are, etc? I'm planning future performance upgrades to the T5 lump, so I would like to fit a box that will last.... |

m3 box is the same as a 328 box but 5th is a slightly different ratio, but its not got a removable bellhousing.
I have a is200 box in my e36 compact with m44 engine, its much stronger than the box box even though it is good for the m3, but its 6 speed and the linkage is legend compaired to the bmw stuff..

why don't you just save for a is200 3sge engine and box though? the 4 pot motor, or buy hinda s2000 even though they are a bit pricey, they will bolt together Sure you want to do this btw? My friend has an imtec puma forsale as a rolling shell  )) |
