    Hello,

    I want to know from you what your experiences are with M60 gearboxes. Which option did you choose and why?

    I run a 4.4L M60 with 820NM and killed the original 6spd V8 gearbox yesterday. Shifted under full load and now it's stuck in 3rd gear.

    The options
    -Buy a new expensive 6spd V8
    -530d 5spd (would be the Right tooth profile for my 2 Disc Clutch but how does it work with Pilot bearing?)
    -530d 6spd (easy because full kit available, but i can throw away my 1 day old Clutch Discs)
    -5 spd V8

    Are there any other Options? Tell me what you choosed.

    Thank you in advance
    Mike
