short shifter for 335? - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

rooster3.0 · 11-20-2006, 04:58 PM

hey what's up? i was wondering if there are any short shift kits available for the 335 yet?

Why do you need one? It will make your shifting harder to do. You will have to apply more force to shift....

I wonder what the differences are between the shifters of the E90 and E92.

Shift kit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Shift kit is an aftermarket component for automobles. for manual transmission equipped cars, it's a component that replaces the stock gear selecter,shifter. What it does usually is shortens the throws of selecting a gear also known as a short throw shifter, therefore allowing a driver to change gears faster and more efficiently.

I think Long istalled one in his e92. I am going to but waitng for aftermarket ones.

I don;t know if there are short shift kits, but will the sport knob that fots the 330 fit the 335? I haven't looked at the 335 shift boot in detail to know if it's the same size/shape as the 330/325. I have the sport knob installed and it makes a noticeable difference from stock.

You shouldn't worry about that. Short shifters are counter balanced which are designed to ease efforts.

I know when I finally pull the trigger, I'll be interested in a short shifter. That things looks loooong.

I had a short throw shifter that cut throw by 40% in my last car and it was a breeze to shift after that thing was installed, speed shifting was not a problem.
