    Most useful transmission for a BP?

    Hello.

    I have a BP swapped mazda practica, and I am running with the z5's transmission. It has a shorter setting than the lantis transmissions, but I believe it still is too long for a N/A car. A friend of mine swapped a BP engine into his 121, and he is using the 121's own transmission. There are some issues of course, like the 121's transmission is cable operated and mine is hydraulic, and there is the axle problems.

    My question is, what is the most compatible transmission for my car? Will the 121 transmission work on mine somehow? Or do you guys know how to shorten the gear ratios?

    My car's pics and some specs are in the following link:

    Thank you all.

        You should be using a G-series transmission that's mated to the BP engine when it's found with a manual gear box. Source it from one of these vehicles, not sure what other options you have where you're located. Just ensure they're BP powered.

          That thing looks like it came straight outta "cars". Like it should have eyes in the windshield. I've never seen one of those before...
          '90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
          '90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

                The 121 looks like a squashed BH, haha. It is kind of cute, though.
