Shift Carrier Question

[glucklich21]

So after a bit of research and particularly looking at aftermarket systems, the E36 M3/328i and E36 325i are separate parts that we already know just by the PN. However when you go to order lets say a UUC shifter kit, there's also two different products one for the M3 and one for the 325i. And looking at pics of the 325i carrier it's safe to say the slight offset the M3 one has, the 325i one does not. I'll be ordering a new one for my swap and see. ;)

Ive got the e36 m3 uuc shifter with their dssr going into my swap and I'll get an e36 m3 carrier -- will update when it's in

Any updates on this? What's everyone using for shifter linkage with the ZF?

i have the e36 carrier and selector rod. but i heated up the carrier and twisted it 15 degrees so it verticle and not tilted to the side

EDIT: Get the UUC DSSR. and all new oem bushings and clips. makes a world of difference.

So I finished up my swap and I ended up with this configuration.


It works but the shifter is offset to the right and the boot gets pinched. Did anyone ever figure out if there is a different linkage that will move it a bit more centered?

i used my stock e30 325i carrier, cut and lengthened it, centered perfectly

I have an m52 with zf320 trans from a 328is (same trans as M3) and my stock g260 carrier was too short. The zf320 carrier was the right length but offset my shifter to the side as stated above. So I did this to my g260 carrier and it works just right.




Its about 1/2" longer now.

The carrier from a e36 325i sounds promising. Can anybody confirm if this works properly with the zf trans?

For those of you who lengthened the E30 G260 shift carrier, did you use the selector rod from the E36 M3 (or a DSSR that is supposed to be for an E36 M3)?

I use BMW E36 M3 linkage and selector rod with ZF320. Didn't notice any pinch in the boot though. I might replace it later with UUC but right now the setup works well enough for me.

Any updates on how this worked out?
