How different is your ZF dogleg than the one I took out of a 1800Ti many, many decades ago?

couldn’t tell you the differences. I do know these are widely used across many different makes and have interchangeable bell housings. Not sure if the zf you speak off were made like that. I’m willing to bet these are stronger.

Are the gear sets dog tooth straight cut?  Really noisy but impossible to break? Cryo treatment on the gears?  Does this use a standard 2002 clutch or do you need to buy a special one to match the input shaft?  

[Bam_1956]

Gears aren’t straight cut, they are helical gears, steel syncros for strength. An M10 won’t make enough power to break the gears. I honestly don’t know if gears are treated... the input shaft is standard bmw. I ran metric mechanic’s twin disc setup for it. Same specs as a 245.

S5-18 is a great box. I used it many years in my rallye car.

Do you have to modify the tranny tunnel? I have heard these are wider then then the 02 tunnel

I installed one in a customer (race) car, fitment required custom (raised) tunnel + mounting system. -KB

I didn’t have to modify tunnel. Do have to fabricate mount pickups.

[Bam_1956]

Did have to modify tunnel to get shifter in. It’s a tight squeeze. I ran it at Sebring, road atl, haulin ass. No issues, can’t tell me it can’t be done.
