What are IX'ers using for shifter mod?

[downforce22]

What bushings/ parts would I need to remove the slop from my shifter and I can I do it from the top?

here is a write up I found, do you just need the rod, between parts 10-12?

Hmm you guys make me unsure, i might have mixed it with a E36 i changed the shifter on? :crazy:
I have to lift the boot on the IX tomorrow and check! Were talking about just the shifter right? Not the linkage or anything like that?

i hope you're thinking of the e30iX! I'm mainly looking to change just the shifter bushing, tiny little piece that'll make my shifter stop feeling so slushy

I've always heard horror stories from people trying it with out removing anything. Now I haven't dine it yet but from what I've read it deans like most people drop the exhaust and rear driveshaft and transmission mount and just lower everything as much as possible. If you do it from the top please let me know ill give it try then, I've been waiting till my clutch went out then just doing it then haha

You can do it from the top, a little tight though.
If you want even shorter throw you can raise the rear mounting point to clear the tc with a longer shifter.

Thanks! Do you know of a DIY from the top? I've looked, can't seem to find one!
