    Selector rod length

    To make a long story short, I need to know the length for part number 25111220835. Pics shown below in attachments pulled from realoem #10.

    This is for a selector rod found in my e30 touring. Engine is an m20b20 mounted on the getrag240. The reason why I am needing the length is so I can buy a DSSR to replace the selector rod. I may need to get one custom made.

    My understanding is that the standard length is 187mm when mounted on a getrag260 but due to the size difference between these two transmissions, it changes the selector rod length.

    I have searched the internet up and down and seems nobody has measured this before. If someone could measure it and upload pics that would be great.

    I bought a 187 from garagistic which turned out to be too long since my g260 was from an eta. They cut one down for me and it works great. Not sure about the width on a g240 but I would think you can shim that with washers

      Yeah, I've heard Garagistic has Double Shear Selector rods and can make any length you need.

        Yes I just need to know the length. It's nowhere to be found on the internet. I want to avoid taking mine out just to measure it. I read somewhere that it is 25mm longer than the one on the getrag260 but I cant confirm that.

          The issue isn't the width. It's the length that I need to confirm.

            I addressed the length. The reference to width was an fyi

                Were you ever able to find the length? I'm actually in the same position now and can't finish my transmission swap until I find out the length to have one made. BMW is finicky with sending that part over from Europe since they never offered that combo here in the US market.

                  It's impossible to advise without knowing what the donor car was, what your installing it in, what flywheel you're using, cast or steel shifter etc etc

                    yea I’m in the same boat, g240 behind m50 and need the length so I can make a custom selector. Did you find it out?
