engine and drivetrain 1975 bmw 2002 with a 6 speed manual

[billiam]

i have a 75 bmw 2002 and it has a 6 speed manual transmission, i was wondering if anybody new what type of convertion this would be and what it would make the value of the car?

[02Les]

Wow, that's special. Unless the 6th gear is reverse.

[billiam]

how much value do you think it adds to the car? the reverse is in over on the far left then its up and down to the right for the gear acceleration but no i didnt count reverse as one of the gears.

[Simeon]

To be honest the rest of the car would have more of an impact on it's value. That would be a clever conversion but if it doesn't go or stop and if your feet go through the floor then having 6 gears means nothing.

Tell us about the rest of the car? Photos?

Is the conversion 'professional'? Has it been well finished?

Anything can be mashed together with welding, cutting and bolting but it is the execution that counts...

good one - almost "APRIL FOOLS DAY !"

That would be my guess too.

I've seen 1 2002 ever with a 6 speed... sequential 6 speed... A hillclimb car...

I highly doubt that's an M10 in there, it's a 16 valve BMW motor.

What's under your hood???

A long time ago (in UK) I had an early '60s Sunbeam Rapier.

It had a 4 speed with electric o/drive on 3rd & 4th......so, I guess, a 6 speed.

Thats cheating Les!

someone must have put a 6 speed shift knob for fun. If it is real, it may no be a BMW transmission, check the bell housing under the car to see if there is some clues of welding.

Really? No.

Actually it was quite good when it worked. When it didn't, you had to thump the tunnel near the solenoid to wake it up. I had a hammer parked on the passenger seat (or floor) just in case.

Tremec six speed? I've pondered that for other car projects.

Well, you could fit a euro E34 M5 six speed manual... of course the transmission tunnel would have to be removed and resized etc.. Not impossible though.

nothing is impossible

nothing is impossible

Is that the euro 3.8 w/ 6 speed and ITBS? mmmmmm...
