Stuff to replace when doing Short Shifter.

[jdvorwe]

I am putting in a z3 2.5 shift lever in my car.

In the Short Shifter DIY on here it says :
Z4 2.5i SSK
4x . . . 25 11 1 220 439 - Spacer Rings
1x . . . 25 11 1 220 832 - Rubber Bearing sleeve (could be replaced with UUC Delrin Bushings)
2x . . . 25 11 1 220 379 - Circlips $0.50 (one extra)
1x . . . 25 11 1 220 600 - Nylon Shift Bushing - $4.00

But Pelican Parts recommends replacing like everything:

• Center Shift Bearing
• Shift Arm Bearing
• Shift Arm bushing
• Shift Arm Bushing Clip
• Spacer Washers
• Circlips
• Shift Coupler
• Shift Coupler Dowel Pin
• Rear mount for Shift Lever Support Arm

Pelican parts list totals $100 and the "SSK" kit on here is like $20, Just wondering if I will be able to tell that much difference when shifting or should I just save the $80?

Most of the wear parts Pelican suggests almost certainly need replacing. You can probably re-use the circlips and dowel pin.

figured as much, had my shopping cart ready to go. just wanted to make sure before i spent the extra $80 that it was really needed.

I made a post on the short shift thread with my thoughts on this subject. Most of the extras you don't really need. but I would replace the circlips, the upgraded design is muchhh better than the old ones.

fyi I have a bunch of extra clips and a couple of extra yellow washers.

Kinda looking to see what other have bought to refresh their set up when installing their short shifter
