seems like something is wrong. i havent heard of it being very hard to put in gear.
maybe try a different rod bend.

^ How do you like it? did you replace the lever bushing? The one I had with it was kinda beat. Not as bad as my ti one though!!!

[thesk8nmidget]

nope i didnt replace the bushing. i will eventually but for the time being it was literally about 5 times better than mine

^It's too late I'm going for the stock Z3 shifter compromise. The Understeer shifter is officially up for sale for 50 bucks

for a shifter they were giving away for free, and now for $50, I can't imagine it would really be that high quality, you get what you pay for

[thesk8nmidget]

no pauly this undetsteer one is good quality!

ddm was giving away free short shifters not understeer.

[tiFreak]

oh, I got confused, to many SSK deals going on

[thesk8nmidget]

no problem. the ddm ones are pretty cheap and well the price should show the quality

Moose,
When I did my SSK it did not line up well. I used the M3 slector rod and shifter. I ended up reverting back to the ti selector rodd and put a healthy bend in it, and things lined up better. Finally I had to tweak the slector rod a bit to get the side to side alignment right.
After I got it in the right spot, I weighted the selector rod with solder and electrical tape.
So far ir works great.

yeah I think when I put the Z shifter in we'll take our time and make sure it's centered. We will weight the selector rod with something heavy...real heavy, like a big mac. Those things are heavier than lead. Kidding I'd never use food products on my car. that's just crazy

^ I used a wendy's triple cheeseburger.

Now thats heavy!

MMMMmmmmm. Clogged arteries.

Yeah that's better than a 'Mac. Too bad we don't have any WENDYS near us. For the record a Happy Meal doesn't do sh*t for improved shifting. Not even with a bigass fries.....

On the other hand a 7/11 foot long dog' will do the trick for awhile 'till you can get the appropriate item

hahahahaha
