I haven't replaced any shifter parts, but may well do after reading this thread. But I don't think that's my issue really - the shifts from 1-2-3 are just crunchy when cold, unless I shift really slowly which then means revs are mismatched... When it's warm, zero issues. Shifter could be a fair bit tighter though!
I replaced gearbox mounts a while back with a slightly stiffer part - I forget exactly which. Messed up the install a bit (one of the studs spun in the mount before reaching proper torque), but I can't make out any change either way since doing it. It's on my long list of stuff to sort out sometime... |

As I said, after having the subframe bushes (M3 rubber OE) and the rear diff (non-M rubber OE) replaced - the difference in the ease of shifting was huge. Going into 3rd used to be very notchy and sometimes felt like the shifter was hitting a wall, and the same for 4th. After the subframe was done those issues completely went away. I'm a firm believer that when everything is inline and the suspended at the correct heights etc it makes the shifting easier. I know it costs quite a lot of money and the won't increase the car's value much but it's worth it to me bringing these old BMWs back to factory or better. |
