    Shifter Modification?

    Is there anything one could do or modify to a getrag 260's shifter to simulate a short shifting kit without spending hundreds of dollars?

    If not, is there a SSK for an e30 for under $100 that is decent quality?

    Thanks guys!!

      Interesting. So all that needs to be bought is the shift lever? P/N 25117527252

      That just replaces the stock one and voila you have a short shifter? Or are there any other conversion parts necessary?

        By the way is the Z3's lever the same pitch as the e30 one?

        Thanks!

                    You don't have to replce anything except the shifter itself. The Z3 shifter does move the shifter quite a bit forward, but I prefer it...I think.

                    You will want to replace ALL of the shifter bushings though, as they get really nasty and sloppy after 20 years.

                    GL!
