Have you replaced your shift lever ?

[Jean]

z3 1.9 shift lever.



What's the correct orientation for the install ?

a.

b.

Can't wait to get this installed

[Jean]

How does 1309 go on 0501, the way I have it pictured or needs to be flipped 180 degrees ?

[Mossman]

I have a sheetmetal console cuz my tranny swap was from an 86 325es, but it's in a 89 325ic. I have all new parts and M coupe shift lever and somehow I didn't have to bend or modify anything, it all just works, and works well. 1 shift cup, spring, etc.

Got most parts here for a rebuild, I just want to confirm if how I have it layed out is correct.

The gearshift rod joint 25117501309 (came with the plastic washer 25111434194 already inside for some reason?) is "L" shaped could be installed two different ways on the selector rod 25111220501. How should it be installed ?

Also, is the rubber O-ring 25111221243 supposed to be on each side of the gearshift rod joint ?

Real-oem picture isn't 100% clear on this. It does list two o-rings and also a "spacer ring"

1987 E30 m3 Z4 2.5--- euro dogleg trans. fits great didnt need to bend anything- has a shifter style alot like the newer alluminum style, just and old skool metal counsole mount to the trans.
the Z3 M coupe lever rubbed on everything, and shifted like crap on the dogleg M3

1987 "facelift" Z3 M coupe fits great, shifts perfect.

The front of the sheet metal console mounts to the tranny, so it's tranny specific.

Aha! That's what I thought. ;)

Actually, I could be wrong, but I think you can. I think it's just the early transmissions that can't swap over to the aluminum carrier, it doesn't have the right mounting point.

How does the front portion of the sheet metal carrier mount? To the body or the tranny? Hmm...

[Jand3rson]

I was thinkin the same thing! We can't switch over either, can we? Since this mounts to the transmission, just like the aluminum one, right?

I wonder if it would be a bad idea to replace the soft rubber rear (3rd) mount on the metal console with something made out of metal since the engine/tranny does move a bit...

I'm not sure if he's still selling them, but there are polyurethane rear console bushings for sale in this thread at e30tech.

[Sean]

fuck, that sheet metal carrier looks tough. I hate the floppy bushings on the aluminum carrier.

[Jean]

Negative ;)

[delfin]

I replaced my shift knob and cut my lever, does that count?

[Jean]

Should have these soon. Probably will go with a z3 1.9 for now to make things less complicated.
