Sloppy Shifter

[StereoInstaller1]

My badz, still very new to bimmers..If it were a subaru wrx or sti, I could tell you which labour worker stamped the vin # :-) Thanx for the info tho. Any way you could tell which rebuild kit I need to purchase?

Gotcha...you gotta be a newb, we don't get "kits" unless our parts man absolutely kicks ass.

Your best bet is to go to www.realoem.com and find your part numbers first, then 'round these parts we recommend www.blunttech.com for parts.

Good luck, bruddah!

You have a G240, not a 260...but all your linkage will be shot at 200K, no matter what.

To do it right, just replace everything including the shift selector shaft.

Sorry, I thought I had details in the vid. But just incase I edited the first post. 91 318is, Getrag 240 (im guessing) with a 4:10 rearend, and 190k on the working odo.

x2, mine has always felt the same as what your describing aside from popping out of gear. Someone was talking about how much they loved the AKG unit http://www.akgmotorsport.com/catalog...g.php?item=138 . I like this and will deal with my slop until money appears someday. But i have a sneaky suspicion that more needs to be fixed than this.

Awaiting the smarties answer

What car, what trans, how many miles, etc?

Just picked up a 91 318is, with a 5MT. I know this is Prolly the age old question that everybody's heard over and over again, but I'm new to E30's and just want to make sure I'm not replacing a buncha stuff I don't have too, when in reality I "might" only need to replace 3 or 4 things to get a more firm shifter back. I posted a video of prob, so let me know what you guys think I should do. Thanx
