I guess I still have quite a bit of "side to side" throw (Z4 3.0), but I kinda figured that wouldn't change much, I'm not changing the spacing of the gears in the transmission... Mine's still a bit notchy, but it's winter, and I haven't had a chance to change the manual transmission fluid. I noticed that when it's warm out, the shifting is a lot smoother. Just as a side not, my shift pattern is a bit farther to the right now. no biggie.Slicktop City!

I got a z4 3.0 lever to go in the cabby, and it came with the parts this kit did. Not a bad little deal. However, you've got to replace that other part if you want to rid yourself of all slop if I recall - that piece on the end of the selector rod that connects to the tranny...
PS - putting this shit in SUCKS. The lever is a breeze, but that bushing for the shifter arm - fuckin a. Best bet is to drop the tranny mount - if you can do it without interference from the exhaust - then you'll have a bit more room to work. I have freakishly small midget hands and even I have trouble.
The worst part is getting that part I mentioned above on and off - there's a nice hefty c-clip that keeps a metal dowel holding it on - youve got to pry the c-clip off, then push the dowel out. Getting it back in isn't terrible - but by then you'll have cursed your car more times than you would imagine ;)

Z3 levers....
It seems that the 1.9 lever(...148) is on backorder in most places. Also the 148 lever has been superceded to a 252 or 256....something like that. Has any1 confirmed the new p/n to be the exact same lever? Sometimes parts are modified slightly when they get new numbers........its usually insiginificant but I was just wondering. Does any1 know where a 1.9 lever is in stock and available now?..... I also had heard from a well respected supplier that the M3 e36 lever was equal to a 1.9 throw but a bit taller "in car"......any one?........tia!I love sitting down and just driving!
