[QUOTE="slyder, post: 730825, member: 23921"] There is no such thing as the correct of perfect ratio. Actually a very good question you ask. One of the question I was waiting to hear you ask. It goes back to the driving style you want to achieve. ok reference would be this [URL="http://www.bokchoys.com/differential/GearRatios.htm"]http://www.bokchoys.com/differential/GearRatios.htm[/URL] with e36 one of our OTAI iceman has lots of experiences with the manual gearbox. Another Otai is e36 manual is V-Man What you should be looking at is the final drive number which is the diff ratio number. simple rule to follow for me is smaller the final drive number the higher the top speed but lesser on the lower gears acceleration bigger the final drive number the lower the top speed but the better lower gears acceleration then remember the choice a gearbox makes a big difference as if you can see there are different models with different gear ratios. Key point to remember as well the gb are not new so while it is down service and change all the seals and bearings. change the clutch plate as well. clutch pump, flywheel. twin mass vs single mass Clutch plate I can say there are 3 oem brands. LUK (most common), Valeo and Sach. Do some research on it and decide on which you want to go for. rear diff ratios, LSD enjoy the journey cheers [/QUOTE]
