[QUOTE="ALBundy, post: 191653, member: 15"] I believe the newer series are all using ZF transmission. The Japan spec e36 and e34 are all using Jatco transmission, not necessarily a bad thing since its a 5 speed tranny compared to the locally assembled units. The 4.10 or 4.45 rear diff ratio is not a problem since the fifth gear transmission ratio is only 0.7, so final ratio is actually around 2.8 to 3.115. And if you know where to source used Jatco trannies, they can be available for less than RM 1k, cheaper than a ZF rebuilt and thats what most owner of Jap spec cars do. [/QUOTE]
