Good day guys, I've just finished installing a short shifter very similar to the picture I attach here. But I think it is fouling the driveshaft. I can hear a faint grinding noise when I'm in second gear. Thinking of replacing it with a better one. Any suggestion which one I should get? I'm using E36 Getrag gearbox Thanks Sent from my SM-P205 using Tapatalk

You'll likely need to remove the harmonic balancer (or vibration dampener) on the driveshaft. This is a common problem for short shifters installed on the cars that have the harmonic balancer (mostly 325s as I haven't see 318s with a balancer installed on the driveshaft). There are a number of threads on R3V discussing this. Here are a few after a quick search:
