GS6-53BZ transmission swap

Hello guys,

my name is Alex, 30 years old and i´m from germany.
I have a question about the GS6-53BZ transmission, and because you have some crazy projects i think that i´m right here. :)

My car is a Toyota Soarer with a 1JZ in it.
My next step is that i want to swap the stock auto transmission to a BMW M50/52 one.
I have already an adapter kit for M50/52 transmissions to JZ engine sitting here. (not the ABC clutch kit)

I want to ask if it is possible to run the GS6-BZ transmission to a M50/52 engine too?
Because this tranny is a beast and will hold some amount of torque! :twisted:
The DZ ones don´t work from what i have read, because they are degreed about ~10°.

It would be great if someone can help me.

bye
Alex :)

I think there are different versions where some fit and some doesnt.

But you can use the DZ versions too, just have to mod the trans brace and shift linkage.

I did it on a zf and lots of other people done it too, its easy! Cut and weld in the right angle.
