CNC Short Shifter GB! $45 (Could go as low as $35!!!)

Like I said, I have not installed it. Your best bet is to picture what 30% less of your stock throw would be.

I would say the Z4 throw is about 50% shorter.... so it's half way.

I drove a car with a Z3 1.9, and the bottom gears (2/4) were a tad bit shorter than stock. R/1/3/5 felt stock. Waste of money IMO.

Err, I re-read this thread again and it's still confusing, so sorry for the repeat questions. To clairify, how much shorter will the knob sit than stock?

The knob will only sit a little shorter than stock. He pictured the lever next to a stock lever in his first post, and it appears to be about an inch shorter than stock.

by looking at the picture..... less than an inch?

Edit: Erik beat me to it. Thanks bud.

They say one bushing is included... I'm awaiting pics to see which oe. (Right now both my cars are down so I cant go check personally)

- Erick

Did you ever find out what bushing was included? I might have missed the post if you had answered that question already.

-Erik

[Erick]

I got the box with me right now for pics (which I should have returned... whoops). There are no bushings. I figured what they meant by bushing is the rubber piece that slides into the selector rod.

Will these work with stock shift knobs? It doesnt look like there is a locking detent for them.

[Erick]

Yes I did notice that there is no locking mechanism for them, however they do have the gap up top to hold the knob in place (so it doesnt spin around)

[m42technic]

Put me down for one. :)

[Erick]

Done deal

[e21pilot]

So any update with number of participants to figure price?

Will this fit an e28?

[Erick]

Now for the pricing:
$45 if we get 0-19 buyers. ($53 shipped)
$40 if we get 20-39 buyers. ($48 shipped)
$35 if we go over 40 buyers. ($43 shipped)
(Prices do not include shipping)

Shipping: $8 (Fedex Ground w/ tracking number)

About the e28 fitment, I am not sure. If you guys can use stock e30, Z3/4/M, then it should work for you as well.

Bullshit

Bullshit

Yea, it looks like a chromed casting - not CNC.

Its also missing the rubber isolator which keeps buzzing drivetrain noise out of the cabin. There's a reason BMW makes their shift levers that way.

Looks like you get what you pay for on this one.

[Erick]

If you're going to try to shit on the thread like this, can you at least explain why do you think that it's bullshit?

Edit: Thanks Victell... I'll have a talk to them so I can see what's up.
