Anyone have a ssk in their e30? Do you guys like em? I'm hesitant to get one cause I drove my bro in laws audi and the throw was so short it was annoying to drive.. anyone?

Nick, I have a Ralco I think its called from Castro. Its cool but Id rather have my clutch stop I made with a bolt from Home Depot. It improve my shifts much more than my SSK did.

I feel the SSK takes away from the feel of stick and you don't get that much from it. Some kits even feel like tip tronic or something.

I do and I like it. The stock shifter throws feel too long to me and the SSK I have doesn't feel too short like some other short shifters I've tried on other cars.

[Balleristic31]

Yea I feel shortening the shift kinda takes some of the fun out of driving stick. But it would be cool to have my shifter a little tighter and notchier. Thinking about the 1.9 Z3 one. Cause its the tallest of the short shifters.

I love my SSK Im not a fan of long throws.

if you want tight and notchy, be sure to change the carrier in the back, its a bitch to change and not included with most kits but don't do anything without changing that. #4 in diagram.

That and #2 make a big difference.

[bmw325csi]

yep. I never understood why the carrier isn't included in most kits, lame.

[Balleristic31]

Hmmm. So maybe ill pick those pieces up, and the Z3 arm and see how it goes. If I don't like the shifter ill just sell it and put the stock one back in. Any other bushings/ things I should replace? Do I needa get under the car for this crap?

[mkcman17]

I have a 1.9 in my car, you can test it out at van nuys. I didn't really want a ssk either, but now I want a more aggressive one. The 1.9 feels like the length the throw should have been from the factory IMO. Not super 'aftermarket' or notchy.


edit: i haven't taken the pain to replace the bushings yet, i have the '#2' but not the '#4' carrier. should i go ahead and order that now too?
