Additional Information
PMC Motorsport parts are designed for motorsport use only. For use on racing tracks.
Parts are intended for installation by professionals with knowledge of engine SWAPs and vehicle modifications—in workshops and using tools appropriately adapted for this purpose.
The adapter installation instructions provide only the basic knowledge necessary for the physical connection of the engine to the gearbox outside the car body.
Depending on the vehicle, additional modifications may occur, such as: fitting of mounts, bushings, and engine firewall, transmission tunnel modifications, driveshaft length adjustments, etc.
Our adapters are made from materials that are entirely recyclable.
Why choose BMW gearboxes?
Availability and price. Millions of cars produced and their worldwide availability guarantee the accessibility of spare parts. Both individual parts and complete transmissions are easily available at authorized dealers (ASO) and on the secondary market.
Durability and reliability. BMW ZF / Getrag gearboxes have been successfully used for many years in both amateur and professional motorsport. They can handle very high torque (some models 1000Nm+), while guaranteeing high reliability. They are ideal for SWAPs in high-power projects intended for daily use.
ZF Friedrichshafen GS6-53DZ
The ZF Friedrichshafen GS6-53DZ 6-speed manual gearbox (S6-53DZ) is an ideal solution for motorsport-prepared cars due to its high durability (1000Nm+) and low price. Input shaft spline type (Male): 32.5x35-26N

FAQ
1. Which starter motor should be used with the PMC Motorsport Ford Barra - BMW adapter?
For the adapter installation, the BMW M50 - M54 starter motor must be used.
3. Can I use the PMC Motorsport Ford Barra - BMW gearbox adapter for ZF 8HP?
Yes, the PMC Motorsport gearbox adapter itself is universal and fits most BMW gearboxes available on the market (applies to adapters manufactured after 2022). If you wish to change the gearbox to a ZF 8HP automatic, the standard flywheel must be replaced with an 8HP converter adapter (PMC Motorsport).
4. Which clutch can I use with the PMC Motorsport flywheel?
The Ford Barra - BMW flywheel was designed for the clutch pressure plate from BMW M57 / M57N / M57N2 / N54 / B58 / BMW E46 M3 / Sachs Performance 883082.001243. Clutches from ACT / Spec / Tanaci are very often used with our kit (it is important that the custom pressure plate also fits the BMW OE flywheel: BMW M57 / M57N / M57N2 / N54 / B58). For your gearbox, you must use a clutch disc with the appropriate spline, a dedicated release kit, and a slave cylinder.
