Shifter review:

1) it's pretty expensive

2) Was a little annoyed that I had to enlarge the hole in the tunnel, but I expected that.

3) Then after that I installed the shifter only for the lever to contact the driveshaft. Garagistic service says they knew about that issue and I can buy an extra plate to space it up off the driveshaft. Making it more expensive.

4) Now it shifts like crap. I think it needs to be spaced up higher to align the linkage better. I also think I need to add the little piece behind the joint on the transmission cause it's floppy as hell even with a dssr.

What’s up with the solid mount shifter? It doesn’t shift well?

congrats on the baby!

If anyone wants the shell, Im happy to discuss parting it out together. M42 swap sounds nice...

Posting this here to get some more eyes on it.

Have you been thinking about getting out of your e30 and into a 2002? We'll have I got an opportunity for you...

Anyway long story short is that I bought this car in December of 2020 with the intent of resto modding it. Plan was going well until my wife and I decided to have a kid which we did in early 2022. Now who has time for a restoration project.

I do have the car in a drive able state but it does need more work to drive well (shifter is the biggest driving challenge)
