Hello Everybody,
I am a big fan of this community and the outstanding infos that are provided, especially on MSS54! This allowed me to solve a lot of stuff on my 2005 e46 M3 and also enabled me to adjust everything that was necessary to get the resent engine transfer to an e36 coupe up and running (unfortunately I wrecked the e46 after 16 years of ownership...).
Based on the amazing work of karter16 I recently also started to dive into the disassembly fun and took a small issue as my first "lesson". I transfered the cluster including shift lights to the e36 but somehow this did not work too well. Reason being a wrong calculation of the current gear due to smaller diameter wheels (235/40 R17) in combination with a shorter diff ratio (3.91). Looking into karter16 's dissassembly I was able to find the calculation algorithm and created a small tool which could help to calculate the right "K_GANG_GRENZE*_*" if significantly different wheels and/or transmission are used.
Remaining question for me is, the background of the calculation of GEAR_NV being (V_ANTRIEB*16 + N*64)/(V_ANTRIEB*16*2)/2 (including all conversions). Can anybody imagine why V_ANTRIEB is addes to the engine speed?
As mentioned, just a very small contribution but I nice start for me.
Cheers,
Peter
