    DSSR install, am I missing something?

    After wrestling with the old selector rod and getting my new Z3 shifter in the mount I crawled back under the car to find out that the gear selector coming from the transmission is too wide to fit into my DSSR end. I checked the part number again and its the right one for my car (89 325is, DSSR187). What gives? Not only is the selector from the transmission wide as hell its flopping around like crazy. Something isn't right in either case and I really hate to put my factory selector rod back on while I have it apart FFS.

    FUUUUUUUCK. Just called UUC and I have to order to the E36 style selector joint.


    EDIT

    Which blows because my car is an '89 and it says cars 1989 or newer have the correct style joint. FML.

      There are two styles, one is wider and offset, one is the same width as the shift lever and centered.

      easy to have wrong parts on the car.

          I had the same problem on mine. Had to have it switched out with the e36 part. Can't remember the part number though...

            I ordered the right parts from Pelican yesterday:

            E36 Selector shaft joint - 25-11-7-503-525-M200
            E36 Selector shaft joint pin - 23-41-1-466-134-M200

            Also gonna replace:

            Transmission output shaft seal - 23-12-1-205-340-M30
            Selector shaft seal - 23-12-1-282-394-M30

            All of it was $19 plus shipping (which I got free since I ordered some other things and qualified for free shipping, w00t)

            Thanks for the help guys. Sucks I got to take it apart again, but its whatever, I keep telling myself that not having any slop will be worth it in the end.
