I think BavAuto sent me the wrong selector rod...

[Kozworth]

Hey guys, I ordered the shifter rebuild kit from bav auto (109.99). I had selected my car and then selected the kit after searching.

However, it looks a bit short from my memory. I havent looked at the underside of my car, but my main concern was my broken shifter arm. I do remember seeing the selector rod, but I thought it was nearly double the size.

Anyways, i took a pic of it next to a standard 11x8 sizeable magazine. Please let me know if this is the right part, before I make all sorts of arrangements to borrow the garage at work and not be able to do the job.



Thanks!

What is your engine/trans? I had the same thing happen, it's about 2 inches shorter than my original rod (early 318i with m10). Bought it so long ago though, doubt I can return/exchange it

m20b25 its the stock trans (sorry still new to bmws whatever came in the 325is)

EDIT:

If wiki is right, then my m20b25 has the getrag 260.. I do have the aluminum shifter arm.

if you look at the selector rod in that picture, it is very apparent that this one is way too short.

I spy my thread...:)

It's not too short, that's the right part. The M20 cars use the shortest one, all of the others are longer.
