tibbs.james 1 Report post Posted October 6, 2007 (edited) Just done the 5 speed swap on my E30 Got a good Getrag 260 ect New shift mount bushings Shifter appears to be in good nick, however i did not see the bushing where it sits in the shifter mounting plate as i had my gearbox man put that togeather as i had no circlip pliers. Car drives fine and you can always get the right gear first time ect. But once in gear it just wobbles around a bit like it slops around a lot more than other cars i have driven. Could the problem be in the clips for the linkage rod. Might it be the wrong shifter used ? it just feels not so flash is all. Also while i am here what short shifter kits are avalible ? I remember seeing one on trademe a while back but i can't find the listing. any help appreciated. Edited October 6, 2007 by Jimmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
