                    No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

                        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

                                        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?

                                        How to fix a sloppy and worn E30 shifter and make it tighter then original (video included) | RTS - Your Total BMW Enthusiast
                                        http://www.rtsauto.com/how-to-fix-a-sloppy-and-worn-e30-shifter-and-make-it-tighter-then-original-video-included/
                                        By design E30 shifters are doomed to go sloppy over time because the materials that keep it tight are made out of things like rubber and hard plastic. Here is the no-bullshit way of getting that shifter tight again. You will need parts 6 and 13 from the dealer. Part 2 from a third
