I'm looking to tighten up my shifter. The crazy thing is I replaced everything as part of my project less than 100 miles ago (honestly Ive maybe put on 20 miles in half a year). It felt tight then but its gone back to being pretty sloppy.
I have a slightly different platform in that I put an M42 and G240 in my E21. Its pretty much an E30 shifter and selector rod, just a slightly shorter selector rod (shortened by me but professionally welded). I used some nylon washers at home since I didnt want to wait a week to get an order of $2 nylon washers from BMW. Im wondering if thats the issue.
I also wasnt able to get the old gearshift rod joint (25117503525) off the transmission so thats original.
Everything else is brand new. Im really not sure why but I can shift in to gears just fine but its very easy to throw it in to fourth when I want second and sorta easy tot hrow it in third instead of first. or Vice versa.
What can I do to get this thing as tight as a bolt action rifle?
