PO bent the selector rod to accommodate a Z3 shifter while keeping the "harmonic balancer". For some reason its getting difficult to put in 1st and 3rd gears and recently the shifter feels sloppy. The difficulty to put in gear is because of the selector rod being pushed on #3 http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...22&hg=26&fg=10
I want to remove it and have read that it has no negative factors if removed. When I closely examined it I noticed 3 of the bolts are Knurled and are part of the unit. What bolts can I replace them with once removed? Also when I remove it will there be a gap or play in the drive-shaft since that space is going to be missing?
I will be replacing all items in this picture http://pelicanparts.com/BMW/techarti...ings/pic15.jpg including Derlin bushings for #5 for the sloppy shifting. Is this overkill?
