When I got my E30, the whole shifter assembly was completely shot, so I bought a UUC shifter, and installed it. I've driven it a bit, and found that it's sloppy, and extremely notchy (part of which is probably the trans fluid, but that's a separate issue). When I examined it, I found that when changing gears, the shift lever would move up, and forward. In other words, the ball of the shifter is sliding up on the lower bushing when I shift, instead of staying centered in the bushing. I hope that makes sense.
I looked in UUC's instructions, and it said that a sloppy shifter could be because the snap ring is not in its groove, but it was, so that's not the problem. I'm pretty sure everything was installed correctly, so I doubt that's it. I measured, and when pulling up on the shifter, it looks like it goes up 4mm.
Anyone else have this issue? Just wanted to check here first to see if anyone else had the problem and fixed it before I email UUC.
