@Xanth3r 5 лет назад

Great video! This might sound counterintuitive, but is it possible to keep the stock amount of throw at the shift knob using this solid mount setup? I'm designing a gated shift plate for my Z3 and that sort of requires a decent amount of throw to be practical.

@garagistic 8 месяцев назад

Yes! You would simply delete the plate and run the appropriate dssr and our solid shifter. We do highly recommend changing out your selector joint as well since it's most likely worn out and would introduce play even with your new solid shifter setup. We offer a few different types depending on your transmission/car!

I want to tighten up the side to side play on the shifter on my e36 z3 but I like how long the throw is, do you recommend just a new dssr or what bushings?

@garagistic Год назад

We would definitely recommend replacing your shifter bushings (we have a shifter bushing kit on our site for your car), installing a DSSR and new selector joint to fix the side-to-side play. As long as you don't change the shifter rod, you should still have the same throw but with far less play once those other items are replaced.

@Pro100Ickpa 4 года назад

I've still didn't understand why on E36 shifting is a bit loose after installing your shifter with dssr. What part should be changed to make shifting stiff as on E30 ?

@DonBMW 2 года назад

If you want super crisp or stiffer shifting, try the entire UUC set up. I had it for a little bit and just too notch for my taste. Went back to my OEM rowboat long shifter. Loving it!

@HD.Motorsports 4 года назад

So if i were to get the oem length shaft and wanted it comfortably for dailying it would become easier to shift if i set the throw length at the bottom to long?

@garagistic Год назад

While everyone's preference differs, threading the bottom adjuster in (towards the car) will make the throw longer and will make the shifting less notchy. It will not be as long of a throw as stock but, in our opinion, is definitely still comfortable and dailyable.

@anjulynamay2901 Год назад

I don’t know if there is already a video on this but how can you adjust the throw from the bottom once it’s already in the car? And do you move the part underneath down or up to make it longer?

@anjulynamay2901 Год назад

I bought an e30 with the garagistic solid mount shifter already installed and it is too short for me to shift it with ease so I really need to know

@garagistic Год назад

@@anjulynamay2901 In order to adjust throw, all you would need to do loosen the set screws on the bottom portion of the shifter that connects to the DSSR and then spin your shifter in order to thread the bottom portion in which would result a longer throw. Just make sure you tighten the set screws back in when you're done adjusting! What size shifter rod do you have? You can also increase your throw by switching to a longer rod

@anjulynamay2901 Год назад

@@garagistic I have the medium height which is about as large as I would prefer to go. The owner before me put the medium shifter on its tightest setting so this is super helpful and a ton easier than I thought it would be. I’ll give it a try. Thank you 🙏

@31acruz 3 года назад

how much do you lower the transmission? about an inch? does that put stress on the connection to the engine? or does the engine mounts give a little?

@garagistic Год назад

The engine mounts allow a bit of give and it wont put too much stress when lowering the transmission slightly for this install.

@mikeokimoto74 5 лет назад

Would this increase the chances of doing a money shift? If I use poly trans mounts do I need to do solid engine mounts too? I'm interested in putting this in my e36 M3.

@HackMassacre 5 лет назад

I would. Couldn’t hurt. Would just make it better

@danielchenko750 2 года назад

I would recommend changing your engine mounts to match the trans poly mounts. Bad things happen with two different mounts especially if you’re running a good amount of power. Engine will twist and the trans won’t = broken bell housing.

@brians9292 4 года назад

I know this is an e30 would the installation be similar with an E46?

Have they replaced their selector joint? The oem selector joint has a small sponge-like bushing in it that deteriorates over time and introduces play in the shifter. We offer a billet option that helps reduce the play that includes a new, upgrade, sponge bushing. www.garagistic.com/collections/bmw-selector-joints

When installing our Solid Mount Shifter in an E30 equipped with a shifter plate, the same steps will apply. You will be getting rid of the shifter plate just as you would with the shifter carrier 👍 If you intend on using a DSSR, you may need to change the selector joint with a late model style or our Billet Aluminum Selector Joint as some earlier style selector joints are too wide to fit with a DSSR.
