So im sitting here at work and I have this crazy idea (or at least my co worker feels like it is)...
The SMG trans while it gets a bad rap as we all know, it is nearly identical to its 6MT counterparts, I love the sequential shift pattern and this may not be true for other but I'd prefer a up/down sequential pattern of the Smg over the standard H pattern anyday. However one of my favorite things to do in these cars is go drifting and while it's not impossible to drift an SMG, the lack of a clutch pedal really limits the maneuvers able to be pulled off. thinking that most drift cars have a hydraulic e brake which is also a up/down type motion I feel it would be way more ergonomical for a drift driver, and while I cant speak from experience I feel it might benefit some drivers using their car for track days. SO... Here is my question.
- Is it possible to rig up a standard E46 M 6MT pedal to an SMG & bypass all clutch engagment systems associated with the SMG while still maintaining the SMG's sequential shift pattern.
*I know this is not the land of the drifter so I get this will NOT be everyone's flavor but please im just brainstorming here and trying to make use of a transmission which most people write off, so dont tell me just buy a 6MT im clearly reaching here so be gentle.
