the linkage input on the back of the tranny, does the long side go toward pass or driver?

i can get the pin in there but it wont pivot, but if i put it in upside down it works out fine. pin can slide through both the linkage and the tranny input idividuallyYour signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

serious issue here, i can get the pin into it with it facing the correct way, but it doesnt move freely, it binds when you try to move it left to right, what should i do about this? should i drill out the hole a little bit or what??Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

What binds? If you're doing it right it should all be a really tight fit that is difficult to move from under the car. That will translate to good solid lever feel.Adam Fogg- '88 M3

The factory service manual isn't clear on which side the offset is on. In one place (25-10, picture 32.25.054) it says and shows the offset to the left with the rod on the right. In other pictures it shows the rod on the left.
On page 25-09
If shift rod joint has an offset bearing sleeve, install the bearing
sleeve offset to the right as seen looking forward. Install offset to
the left in cars with a vibration damper and bent shift rod.Comment

this has been established, the new question is, is it supposed to move left to right freely ie rotate about the pin that holds it in place.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Yes. The joint on the transmission side is a U-joint, not a single-axis pivot.
There should be a foam/felt pad inside the joint that both holds grease and provides a little pre-load to prevent the joint from being too loose.

I'm waiting for someone to report on the following part, which might be "better"
25-11-2-226-585 M3 "shim", denser than standard e30 rubber buffer $1.60/1.36
I swapped my worn asymetrical joint and shift rod for a newer-style symetrical joint so I didn't need to decide which way the shift rod goes on. When I was looking in the boneyard before my transmission swap I noticed that every car with an asymetrical joint had a sloppy shifter linkage. Every car with a symetrical joint was either tight or only slightly loose. It appears that BMW redesigned the joint with a longer-wearing material.Comment
