i cant help, except to explain that one gearbox cannot be 'more powerfull' than another---all they do is transfer the engines power to the final drive.

you don't trust you foreman ? why is that so ??

me also finding the answer to it ...pls help ...

@carlberg ...which final drive do i need to use to overtake an ///M3 s50 ahh ?

 

[carlsberg]

final drive ratio is matched to your engine output---- and depending if you like relaxed highway cruising at low rpm , or traffic light drag racing--

Its not ZF more powerful but it can take more hp / torque stress. However, Getrag isn't any bad. If you have more than 300whp then you can consider ZF else no issues. Getrag is much more lighter(weight reduction), has taller gears hence they act like close ratio gearboxes on VTEC. Very fun to have it on ur 325/328 on short sprints. As long its not broken, dont be itchy to change it to a ZF thinking you are going to gain power. Cheers...

waa. . v-man maha guru already. ..by the way, just to add, the ZF box was made for the original 328 n M3 e36 B30 spec. for the S52 e36 6speed is the getrag under Bmw badging, but fragile and weak. under the e46, it was made under getrag but heavy duty.

hope this explains further.

Actually the getrag 6 speed is v sturdy. Only the synchro is d weak point which goes first if not handled with care. Many getrag6 have survived turbos with no issue. My 530tds still didn't kill the box yet

Iceman.... U need ratio that gives u 165kmh at 3000 rpm. Hehehe. But to run that ratio u need lots of ghee.

could be your clutch pump isn't pumping well ... the cheapest solution ...jack up your car and check the pump condition ...if signs of aging and leaking change this first and check on the 1 gear shifting to N ..happens again or not ...
