not doing that at all bu5ter...just know what car/cars Ben is comparing his to and its not a fair comparison. he should be comparing it to the likes of the cars you mentioned....instead of half arsed examples.

Just because it has a T88 Ben doesn't mean it is a well sorted car.

It's not so much if the gears are straight cut or helical, true helical are quieter but they both use direct dog teeth to engage the gears. There's no buffer zone, and with a seq you can't exactly rev match on the downchange - which is one of the big destroyers of dog teeth.

hahaha its only a poor old GTST, rwd and all can't expect to much ... and to make matters worse the driver weighs 108kg

And that bodykit you got from mainland China was made out of Bamboo, and weighs in at a hefty 110kg too!

Not to mention the 5mm thick exhaust, and then the 75mm thick intercooler.

hahahah

Hi guys i didn't mean for this to get out of control with the comparison of the toque figures.

as for the gear box i didn't know the Abflug made.one i was comparing to a freinds Hollinger which is noisy.and not that great to drive around the streets.

also the hollinger ia rated at 700hp were as the OS is rated at 1200hp.

i didn't mean for this thread to get all nasty.

just that the car has lots of torque that's all.

anyway were are looking foward to getting back to the track not this but next.

Cheers Ben

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
