Z3 Shifter on an Early Model

[tmacfan98]

Hey guys. I got the z3 shifter and the parts needed, along with a DSSR, to install in my '87 325is. When I went to install the shifter, it turned out I got the parts for the late model. I've been looking around and I wanna be 100% sure that I get the right parts this time before I order them. Does anyone have the part numbers that I need for this install?

Well, if at all possible, you should just go with the new style carrier. Many early model transmissions still had the tabs for the late carrier.

I don't know that the Z3 shifter is even compatible with the sheet metal carrier.
