guys I need pics. I am converting my car to a 6spd and looking for pics.
Interior: Shifter area, pedals (under dash)
Exterior: Master cylinder, clutch pressure line
secondly for the CAGS, where is it located on the transmission? Other than the speed sensor, what are the connections on the tranny?
Lastly, I still don't have a clutch. With a 224/230 cam ~450 rwhp, is a fidanza Al flywheel and a full disk organic clutch alright.
The car will be 95% street, 5% drag (slow shifting) and autocross/track car.
Thanks for any input

I got my tranny through F parts on ebay and it came with everything. pedals, shifter, clutch, flywheel, bellhousing, master, slave and hydraulics. However, the only thing that I used was the tranny, pedals, and bellhousing. Mcleod also offers a billet master cylinder and hydraulics setup and that's the unit I went with. Real good quality part and looks nice too.
I didn't use the CAGs so I didn't do anything about it.
I took everyone's advice and is running the BMW oil in the ZF. Everything is smooth, and the Mcleod grabs HARD! I wouldn't use anything else with your setup.

Check out the link in my sig. I did the conversion over this past winter. I took a lot of pics in the general areas you're inquiring about.
I too went with the McLeod ST with aluminum flywheel and if I had it to do all over, I'm not sure I would have done it. I mean it is great and knowing I probably can't hurt it is a plus, but I should have been more honest with myself... Why do I need a clutch capable of holding 1000+ HP when I only put 350 to the ground? The noise gets to me a little only because it makes the tranny sound like it's about to explode. I don't like having to explain to passengers that is how it is supposed to sound.
It's easy to shift around so it's not audible and with a raised idle, I don't get the box-o-rocks sound at stop lights however.
Good luck, you'll love it!
