Shift Lever and Short Shifters

[JinormusJ]

I would like to get a z3 1.9 shifter and replace all the major wear parts...are these all of them?

Thanks

Yes, that's all of the ones you need; BMA has this kit, but it's upwards to $120 shipped. Not sure if they separate it

Thread bump...this question was asked and nobody answered. I'm wondering the same thing.

I made a diy article on the short shifter setup.

just installed a shifter off an e46 330 into a 318is


twas incredibly easy---and achieved exactly what i wanted---A shorter throw without any difference at all. The shifter itself sits at center in 3rd gear, so it's actually back a little from the stock shifter, but that's actually a very comfortable place...there is no stretching to shift at all.

since its an m42, there was no need to bend the shift rod...just pull out the old cup and shifter, drop in the new one.

I'd highly recommend this to anyone who doesn't want the tiny shifter look, or doesn't want to pay $100 or more for a shifter, since I was able to buy this off ebay for $44 shipped

Made a little video of the new dssr

New rubber shift boot body seal
I also removed the harmonic balancer to clear the dssr.

I know it's an old post, but it's also arguably one of the most informative in this thread - just a couple of Q's;

Does this part wear significantly enough to warrant replacing (and will replacing it gain enough benefit to outweigh cost)?

pelicanparts wants $58 for this bracket (!!) - anyone know where else I could source one from at half the price, like stated above?

Most replace only the bushing. A forum member sells a delrin replacement.

If you want to replace the entire bracket, these guys are awesome. http://www.thebmwpartstore.com

Rear carrier bushing and bracket
PART number 25111220707
cost 27.50

Instead of using the yellow spacer rings
part number 25 11 1 220 439
You need 4 washers
I have read that some people recommend a brass or steel washer instead of the yellow ones because
A, It tightens up the feel.
B, It won't degrade over time.
C, you can take the old yellow ones out and go to a hardware store and find ones that are the same thickness and similar diameter and done deal.
D, if anyone knows the outer diameter and inner diameter and the thickness, post up

Can anyone comment on ditching the yellow plastic washers in favour of metal ones?
I can't seem to find much more info on this elsewhere, and I would've thought that if metal washers were in fact a superior option, BMW wouldn't have bothered going for the yellow ones in the first place...
...unless it would make for a potential seizing issue

I hope this information has been helpful to all.
As the 40+page is a lot to get through. I tried to condense some of the part numbers and tips all into one post, as best as I could.

Hello guys i found this useful

[DaButt]

I put the Ireland engineering SSK in a few months ago with a ZHP shift knob. Love it. Notchy, short, but not difficult. IMO it's the perfect DD setup. Gotta be careful though, they sent me the wrong cup bushing for my 84 Eta. They did send me the right part (two little plastic rings) for free, which I had to cut with a razor then epoxy back together. Kindof a pain, but not really. Honestly, I love the feel, but it leans a little more to the front right than stock, which I've gotten over.

anyone running this knob in e30?

I had this knob in my e30 for a while before I put in a ZHP knob in it. It's basically the same weight of the ZHP knob with a different shape.

Add me to the list of people running the x5 lever. (or soon to be)
Installed in the car yesterday, but I haven't bled the clutch lines yet so it's a bit annoying to try and get it into gear. Overall feels real good, comparing it to a stock lever and a z3m this is my preference already. I did have to bend the lever to reduce some of the kink it has from the factory, I reduced the angle to be more along the lines of the z3 lever.
