Shift Lever and Short Shifters

[87bimmerguy]

I would like to know this too.

Does anyone know exactly what comes with the KO Performance kit? This is what I'm looking at:

http://www.koperformance.com/online_ordering/show_part/184313-OEM-BMW-E30-Z3-1.9-Shifter-with-UUC-Hardware

They say it comes with everything necessary, but I just wanted to see a parts breakdown. Anyone ordered this particular kit? The price looks good compared to everyone else, and it looks as if a few people in this thread have already recommended these guys, so.....

Ehh, I'll know shortly because I decided to order it anyway. :)

I'll take a pic when it arrives.

Cool. Thanks

beware of KO performance.. search for some feedback threads before dropping any cash. I'd be calling BMA or somebody else with good service, personally.

blunt.... I think it was $55 for the Z3 shifter. Just have the part number ready.

Dammit. Well, I guess I'll take pics IF it shows up...:(

How does this lever compare to the Z3 1.9 lever? Is it the same? (the 29% reduction)

I'm trying to decide whether to go with this and the pelican parts bushing kit (http://www.pelicanparts.com/BMW/cata...Tshift_pg1.htm)

or the KO performance kit http://www.koperformance.com/online_...h-UUC-Hardware (which is a good bit cheaper if it has everything)

Bump. Anyone know?

The one in the picture on their site is a Z3 1.9 shifter. It probably is the 29% throw reduction shifter (99% sure of that). Z3 2.8 is probably the 40% reduction and M-coupe is probably the 50% reduction.

The Pelican kit looks like it's got all the good stuff, but I think if you shop around for individual parts (or buy direct from the dealer with the CCA discount) you will save at least $15. Those prices seem a bit high, but they are in the business of making money.

Great, thanks for the info.

I just received the KO kit today.....here is what you get, in case anyone wants to know.

Shitty cell pic, but you get the idea...

Is the bitch clip a wear part/should I replace it? I've got the tranny out of the car, I installed delrin shift carrier bushings but there is still a tiny bit of wiggle room due to the slop in the bitch clip/tranny housing. Not sure if I should replace the clip before I reinstall the tranny?

[rThor432]

^^The rod section can wear. Doesnt really get extremely worn, because it has another bushing around it when it is in place. Not a terrible idea to replace it while you are in there to make the job more complete. The clip part itself usually doesnt cause any problems, unless the little tab that retains it is broken.

What shift knob is this?

[dinanm3atl]

5sp ZHP. I got that one for my e30.
