Made my own DTM style shifter, easy.

[Goggles Pizano]

Raised shifter pivot point, lengthened lever above and below pivot thus, shortening throw AND putting shifter right next to steering wheel.
Let me tell you man, it is slick!!! Half a day, no parts, just section and weld.

Can't shift much faster cause of synchro's but it has a cool factor of about 9.5

[Goggles Pizano]

Hey Winchester, I need to do that, be a couple weeks though, leaving town (Runoffs/work/borrow camera)
BTW I used to live in Arlington, worked at Ferrari of Washington in Dulles.

[Goggles Pizano]

Yes Sir...maybe tomorrow, like I said, need to borrow a camera, then remove it from the car.
Pic's or ban, Jeezus you guys are tough.

I was planning on doing also. I ended up just using an X5 3.0 lever, which is another inch higher or than a stock lever with a great short ratio, but not too short.

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.

I love my X5 lever.

I may have asked before.... but does the X5 lever need to be modded at all?..bent etc.... assuming vibration damper is removed.





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.

.......that was what I was hoping to see a pic of! So I guess you bent it to be more upright....less laid back.

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.
