I think its just called the top shifter linkage(arm).
Unless your e30 is much gruntier than standard the factory arms fine-yrs was probably fatigued.

he just got a double double on his first 2 posts, congrats.

thats the shift carrier. its aluminum, cars made from 87(?) up had them. so its readily available

edit: and by the way, this would be a great thread to go in the transmission section, not so much in general discussion
