| I bought a short shifter from ebay a few weeks ago which apparently fitted among other models , my e30 . You've all seen them , there the ones with the annodised cup around the spherical pivot point . Anyway , on first impression when i offered it up to the car , i couldn't see how it would fit . I was right , it didn't . So i got back on to the ebayer who sold it to me and he assured me that it would fit . After making several adjustments to the new shifter i got her nestled nicely into her new home , put all the bits back together and had a happy smoke . An hour later i decided to test it out and went for a spin . 1st gear , no problem . 2nd gear , sweet . 3rd gear , 4th and 5th - bottom of new shifter rubs off the propshaft like a banshee screaming 'STEEEEEEEVO' . Looks like i'll be returning said shifter to ebayer . And i thought i'd got a bargain . |
