well guys i got a set of low mileage z3 trans internals, actually i have the whole trans, but the case is broken. Im going to be installing them in the A3's case. People on k20a said it can be done pretty easily. anyone care to shed some light on it?
This is EXACTLY what I want to do.
I had this done for my a2 trans cause that case was also cracked. I couldn't help you but I can tell you your a3 with meth and JRSC is going to be intense
Make sure you got 08+ Z3 trans internals. The 06-07 year's 2nd gear synchro is made of glass. Ask me how I know lol..

Awwwww yeah! : )
Im Soooo excited to do this :) :) someone find me a edm/jdm 6speed shifter assembly and I will totally give you a high five!!!!
Use your EP shift assy and buy three parts to convert it. : ) Costs less than $30.
Actually if your z3 trans has the shift assembly and all internals... you have everything you need to have reverse lock and to convert your EP shift shaft to a full on 6 speed assy.
This is what the internals would look like...
This is my EP 5 speed case with ITR main and counter shaft, with 6 speed reverse lock and 3-4/5-6 shift forks.
My EP shift shaft converted for 6 speed with reverse lock...
Pix for the shift shaft differences.
6 Speed left, 5 speed right. The trangular part is different. There is a spring that goes with it. You should also swap the metal bracket that surrounds these parts. The 6 speed part was changed to allow full throw of the shift shaft...
5 speed...
