Z3M Shifter is a NO-GO! HELP!!

[mtlbloodshot]

No problems of it touching the guibo or shaft itself?

[EN318isPDX]

SOO what shifter are you running?

Believe its an E30 EVO1, I have ZF320 with stock E36 housing, its very close to the Z3 1.9 I believe

I have AKG poly MM and AKG metal cup trans bushings. I wouldn't recommend running no guibo, there is a reason you want the driveshaft able to flex at the transmission

[EN318isPDX]

I have poly urethane engine and tranny mounts plus AKG bushings all over the car so it will vibrate no matter what. Even with the guibo the car will have not much a change and will still vibrate.

I had no idea that was even an option lol. Wouldn't that cause vibration in the driveline?

Not really interested in the ERK. Would rather find the right shifter.

Well I hate to be the voice of reason but it does more than get you your clearance, it changes geometry so you don't have the notchy mechanical resistance.

I have the old school turner e36 M3 drop in shifter ( blue cup) and dssr 232 for e46 323i and my shifter is the shift.

Maybe Ill go without a guibo :/ I was reading the DIY on shifters and a lot of people running without it...

Thanks man. Let me know if you're interested though, I'd be willing to go check my clearance for you. Ill get a pic in a sec, it really looks like it'll fit unless yours is really hitting it.

I have a shifter I'd be willing to trade for that one. I was told it was a Z3M but the distance between the ball and the connection to the selector rod is shorter, so it should clear it. It has a metal ball and is in good condition.

Edit: provided that that shifter will fit on a stock 318i

Id rather buy one knowing that it fits 100% then once I get that figured out, I can sell you mine , for a good price of course. Yah it's gonna fit a 318i. It was initially on my 318is when I got it.

g260, My bad

Or you can use an ERK to relocate the pivot higher.

[AnimalE30]

Thats the one I have. The numbers on the shifter aren't very clear so I cant check on realoem. But looking at the pic you posted, seems pretty obvious that mine is the Z3M one.

That looks about right. While the short Z4 shifter will more than likely clear your set up. Wait for more people to chime in on your set up as the shorter Z4 may be a longer throw than youre looking for.
