Btw, the Ebay one almost looks like a B&M replica, is that what it's design is based on? Anybody know?

anyone have issues with the z3-1.9 not going into fifth? I just switched to the aluminum shift carrier and it seems to be hitting the side of the cup preventing it to go into fifth.
should i try to find a shifter with a longer length on the bottom or try bending the shift linkage to make it a shorter length or is there something I'm missing?Last edited by bimmerpirate; 07-13-2008, 06:34 AM.

I am looking at the pic on the first page of the thread comparing the pivot point on each shifter.
I had the Z4 2.5 in the vert and loved it but with this car would like to have something alittle longer on top. Would the would the Z3 2.8/3.0 be the best if I want, the same kind of feel but a longer rod? oooo..boy haha

Thanks

I always reuse the selector rod when I do my shift linkage rebuilds. My shifters feel great.

My shifter is just terrible, Its got a lot of slop. when i put it in first i think im going into reverse, and to go into reverse you are hitting up against the counsle. Is this just a bushing issue or do i have to get a whole new shift lever or what?
Any info would be appreciated. Its getting to be annoying.
thanks
