really weird shifter problem, help? :(

[Andy.B]

Either that or the PO installed the shifter backwards

Its probably this. One of my e30's came that way. 15 minutes later and it was perfect.

You can check that from inside the car, just pull shift boot off.

Lmao po is a tool bag.

Looks like shift carrier is wrong, should be centered.

Wtf...so instead of fixing the issue he damaged the center console, leaving you with more of a mess to clean up.

That sucks man. Even with the shift carrier being wrong, just rotating the actual lever around (which is backwards btw) would have made it a lot better.

ya lol, that guy was a tool. took the radio out b4 i bought the car too. im gonna go twist it around lol. what parts do u think i need?

[zerotolerancecuy]

Well here's how it sits now after twisting it around the right way. The pic is it in neutral. Any suggestions on how 2 get it centered now? :/

[FLG]

Get the correct shift carrier. What model is this? I might have another spare

Nvm saw first post will check tonight

cool bro, thanks

Could have the PO have put in the shift carrier from a G240? Are the shift carriers from G240 and G260 different?

idk transmissions too well :/

[AndrewBird]

RealOEM lists two different part numbers for G240 and G260 shift consoles. Not sure what the difference is though. I would just start by getting a new shift console, new selector rod and all new bushings. Start from scratch and make it right.
