Shifter rubs on driveshaft

[Teaguer]

AKG sells them , too rich for most r3v'ers though .

[FredK]

Yes.

Understeer recommends bending the selector rod in a vise, using three sockets.

[surebimmer]

The selector rod is not rubbing. They tell you to bend that if yours rubbing on the guibo/hardy disc. My selector rod is bent just a little bit as well. I'm off to Vegas this weekend and just got to start my swap for the first time today. Started first try! Next week I'll have her on the street.

[FredK]

um, sorry dude. I misread that! I thought you had rubbing on the guibo, not the DS! :(

is that bimmer world's dtm shifter?

I don't know. I know it's in the turbo 2.1 E46 that EvoSport built for Holder.

^ Its AKG's shifter :

[matt]

That's really pretty. I want one.

[Teaguer]

Yeah , its a legit piece .

Most r3v'ers try to cut theirs down to 2" though . :rofl:

[PiercedE30]

I think I may try to cut up a stock carrier and make it so it is a body mount piece. We shall see.

Thanks for the clarification Teaguer.

A body mount shifter would not be the ideal solution for a street car.

You would need solid engine and transmission mounts for it to work correctly.

Raise the pivot point.
