    Are you running vib damper?


    Increased effort is insignificant over stock e 30?

    .......tempting for sure



    THANKS.
    not sure what you mean by a vibration damper..but its like stock.

    It was bent all kinds of angles to work with my angled linkage due to swap.

    I think there is same effort than stock.

    how does it compare to Z3 1.9 item......what is length of its rod below ball in comparison?........I prolly shouldve bought it instead of the 1 9 stick.





    thnx


    Top is mCoupe
    Middle is E36 M3
    Bottom is X5 3.0.

    It is the same below ball as the E36 M3, and about an inch taller (once rebent to work correctly) over the E36 M3. For me, it is the best ratio of height, speed, and travel.

    my short shifter took a hell of a lot less time. took the top piece of the shifter off. cut the head off/cut to length of bolt, welded it to bottom piece of shifter... short throw shifter in about 20 minutes.
