Interesting. I was waiting for your product to become available but I ended up going with garagistic for timings sake. Sorry to hear of all the complications man

No worries, man. I make these to support the e30 community and because I like to make things. I have some other products I've been developing for my own car that I think r3v will like as well. I just wish I had a cnc plasma table or waterjet at my disposal!

[LateE30]

Cool man. Keep us posted on your products.

I received mine a few weeks ago from Ben, and although I haven't installed it yet, I'm very excited to! Ben was great about answering all of my questions and had no trouble custom making one to fit my 15+ year old E36 UUC v.2 short shifter. And all that for a great price. Thank you Ben, I'll post up more after it's installed!

Update 8/9/17

Update 8/9/17

Sorry it's taken so long between updates. Lots going on at my normal job. . .

To minimize my time investment from drilling, cutting, welding, etc. I drew up some CAD of the pieces and found a small vendor to laser cut and CNC bend the pieces. T

The prototype versions aren't CNC bent and were cut on a plasma CNC so I had to do some manual tweaking, but the versions I will be producing will be 304 stainless cut with laser and CNC bent for perfect fitment.

The vendor drew up the 3D version for me





Here it is welded together:



Testing fitment with the late model shift rod joint and the nylon washers: PERFECT



Also, since so many guys are running shifters with increased lower rod length and coming into clearance issues with harmonic dampers and whatnot, I have made a design to help clear that by making angled end pieces. Of course, this can be accomplished by bending the shaft of the DSSR.



This will lift the rod up 5 mm at the shifter end for added clearance. However, I plan to increase this to a 10-15 mm clearance.

I haven't placed an order from my endpiece supplier yet as I there is a minimum order and I am not sure if there would be enough demand since so many others are making DSSR's now.

Price for the stainless versions would be $60 shipped. I will supply zinc plated hardware with (4) nylon washers so you can adjust tension for a tight shift feel as opposed to pins and clips which offer no 'squeeze' on the joints.

So, any interest in these?

[badwella]

Addition: I did get a quote for clevis pins to replace the bolts used, but it would add another $10 to each order

[badwella]

Checking interest in these before I place an order for the end pieces and my other raw materials.

[Gregolas]

I am interested, especially with the clevis and bend for the short shifters.

Edit: I am in for one!

When I see solidworks on this forum, Im in. Let me know when and if this becomes a production.

I'm in, i ordered the SSK from ECS using the stock z3 1.9 lever, and would love a DSSR solution.

[captain awesome]

I need an m42 version. How soon before these are available?

[eThirtyAaron]

Would this still work for a 325i with a z3 1.9 or 2.8 shifter? Excuse my ignorance if this is obvious.

Haha! I should've done it earlier then!

That's not a problem at all. I have the z3 shifter in my car with my version 1 DSSR. However, if you are retaining the harmonic damper on your driveshaft then it'll need to either have the shaft bent (the DSSR, not driveshaft) or have one of the angled ends put on.

I need an m42 version. How soon before these are available?

I emailed my supplier for the endpieces to get an ETA if I were to order today. I'll update as soon as I find out as it will take only a few days upon receiving that I can finish the rest of the fabrication and get the units shipped out.

No worries. It's a good question. The extended lever will cause interference with the harmonic damper unless a) the harmonic damper is removed from the driveshaft b) the shaft of the selector rod is bent to clear or c) angled DSSR ends are used to raise the DSSR shaft above the damper/driveshaft

[benihana242]

I'm interested in the M42 solution as well - I currently have the EVO 3 UUC Short shift kit - I'm not sure if this changes what I would need or not.

Please let me know when they'll be available and for how much.
