It might be a repost, but I lost the video, so thanks! :mrgreen:

I don´t now if it´s a repost, but sounds very well. Thanks a lot for found things like that.

it is a repost, but definately worth the download - sensational video :D

Does anyone know anything about the gearbox in the M3 GTR? I know it's a bit of detailed question, but i can't figure it out - he doesn't appear to be using a manual clutch, and the shift patterns are strange - they're not allowed to have sequential gearboxes, and yet he only appears to move the gearstick forward and backward, without any sideways motion to get into each gate. Is it just a regular manual with a very short throw so you can't see the sideways motion? And watch about the clutch? His left leg doesn't flex at all...Am i just being stupid or is there something else going on here?

All I could find out is that it uses a Hewland six gear gearbox (H-scheme shifting) and this:

"Transmission: pulled triple-disc carbon-fibre clutch; straight-cogged six-speed manual gearbox with oil/air cooling at rear; step-up differential with viscous lock and mechanical spreader and multi-plate differential; steel drive shafts with tripod links"

hope that helps out somehow :)

Cheers for that dingo, so it is an H-scheme, and i just can't see very well apparantly! Thanks mate

I think its probably a "dog box". Not entirely sure about them, but i think they run without syncros and just have the dog teeth to engage. Harder to use for mums driving to the shops, but easier to work on and presumably higher torque capabilities. It also appears in that video to not require much if any clutch engagement.

caneswell, as ever, the reliable source on all things BMW. Nice one mate. It's def a dog box, they were invented by Hewland, mentioned by dingo before. That dog box sounds like a bastard, it shows how much of a good driver Hans Joachim Stuck is for sure.
