_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Does anyone know where to get new bushings for the shifter? preferably in the wellington region but either way Edit: while my mind is in it, i seem to remember someone telling me they need to be sent away to be done with a press or something. fact or fiction? :S Edited February 12, 2010 by ethrty320 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted February 12, 2010 Get a Z3 short shifter & you'll get the bushes for free lol considered but i quite like the throw on the E30. have heard the Z3 becomes tiresome but not sure. may look at it depending on the price of the bushes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) The white bush for the shifter is like $20 from the dealer...also replace the knuckle bush on the gearbox from the shifter arm with a brass version, helps improve it ten fold (also available from the dealer). Z3 shifters are worth the price....I love mine. If you need any part numbers etc pm Jason (SIRE30) as he helped organise the group buy we had last year on most of the above.

Forrest 35 Report post Posted February 12, 2010 Nah mate, DIY all the way. Plenty of write ups online etc to do it. The hard thing is getting the old white bush out. A flat screw driver and a BFH helps here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e30ftw 410 Report post Posted February 12, 2010 Yeah I reckon. I have the z3 shifter in mine, its a good reduction in throw but not too short. Seems perfect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
