If you're using that knob in an e30, no one cares, because we wanna see your transmission.

So I was in the process of replacing all of my shift bushings on my 85 325e and ive hit a snag at the ball cup bushing for the shift arm. This is a two piece bushing because I have the pre 86 shifter set up where instead of an aluminum carrier rod I have a steel plate for the carrier. My problem is that the too half of the ballcup bushing wont fit of the new e36m shift arm on either side. I even tried to test go it on the old arm and it wouldn't and the only reason the old one slipped off it is because it was cracked. I had the idea of sanding the inside of the bushing slightly so that it would fit but I wanted to know if that would mess everything up. Any advice/help would be much appreciated

If everything is moving it's probably the rear carrier bracket/bushing. Still, stock bushings will have tolerances in them.

I'm annoyed because after replacing EVERY linkage bushing, I have the same play as before. Looks like it's originating from the new tjoint. I even tried solid washers, but it's still sloppy.

mine is not. it's very tight compared how it was before.
I replaced lever with Z4 2.5 and all the bushes but rear carrier was fine...I drove the car today, you can't feel that up n down movement while shifting, so probably I will leave it as it is.

probably misaligned or busted cup bushing.

I checked that already...look like the whole arm goes slightly up, bushing is new and have no play in it

6 months ago I put in Z4 shifter...today I noticed it goes slightly up and down when I pull the knob up? Is this normal?

looks like e36m3 or e30 318is

z3/4 have a longer distance between ball pivot and lower selector rod pin.

You quoted the type of lever it was. I edited my post but didn't change the top. I initially thought was an M3 one but was informed that it was Ti or 325iX. Upon measurements it was a Ti shifter.

Anybody recognize this lever? No part number and it's been lying around in my spare bits.



pay no attention to The Ti lever.

I did a short video on the $22 ebay shift lever with new bushings. I dig it!
