Glad to hear! We appreciate it!

Do it! We also have a new “Pro” self-centering chassis mount shifter available 😉 www.garagistic.com/products/garagistic-pro-self-centering-chassis-short-shifter-e92-e46-e36-e30-e60-z4-m3

@@garagistic Which would you recommend for just a spirited weekend cruiser?

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!

My friend had ordered back in Nov/Dec and was told January. It never came so he cancelled it. :/

Basically. Haha.

Yes looks exactly alike to me

🍻

Our supreme shifter is our go-to option for people who want to retain their stock rubber engine/transmission mounts! We definitely still recommend upgrading to a DSSR, billet selector joint, and installing our shifter bushing kit so you can remove all the slop from the OEM shifter carrier setup.

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!

Yessir!

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

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.

Yes! If you were to run the stock rubber mounts with our solid mount shifter, you will encounter issues such as the transmission popping out of gear due to the movement of the motor/transmission.

@@garagistic noted!

Just bought your chassis mount shifter with 80a engine and transmission mount bushings. I really wanted it complete with the DSSR but it says it is sold out. Any way possible those can be made along side with my shifter kit? If so, you can send me an invoice directly and i can pay for it separately. If not I'm going to go cry in my bathroom until I see that its not sold out on your website. Thanks in advance!

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

​@@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

@@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 🙏

Bitch Clip

@@garagistic awesome thank you!

@@garagistic I should have waited, yall say that at 18:35 in case anyone wants to see that as well

Yes it does!

@@garagistic thank you! I see now it says: "1984 - 1985 E30 Models have a smaller diameter hole in the trans tunnel for the shifter. This will require you to remove enough material to increase the diameter of the hole in the trans tunnel with a Dremel for proper installation." Is there a certain recommended way to go about this?

​@@ariss_00 Using a sanding drum on a dremel/rotary tool is a good way to remove material from the trans tunnel hole. You only need to make enough space for the bolts to go through and mount the shifter. We recommend using the bottom mounting plate of our shifter as a template so you can see exactly how much material you will need to take off in order to allow all the mounting bolts to fit and connect to the bottom mounting plate 👍

@@garagistic Awesom, I’ll be sure to keep this in mind for the future. Thank you 🙏

Send us over an email over at support@garagistic.com and we can have our support team help you figure out the correct shifter linkage and transmission mounts 👍

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

We may be looking into this in the near future!

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.

What car are you installing it on and what year? Some BMWs come with a broader selector joint but we now make a billet selector joint that can replace it depending on the chassis.

@@garagistic yes had looked it up in the manual and on yalls website. will be ordering soon

We haven't tested it with any Civics but our shifter does work with multiple BMW chassis including E30, E36, E46, E90 and even 2002's.

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.

This shifter can definitely be viable for a daily but if you do want something with a little more "cushion" or OEM-like feel, our supreme shifter and our shifter bushing refresh kit is a great option for daily drivers!

@@garagistici ended up just getting the DSSR. I’ll see how it goes before I add anything else - thanks. Love it so far.

@@polloloci21Awesome! Keep us posted. Thanks!

You can use the poly trans mounts 80a durometer minimum

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

@@garagistic thanks for replying I'll have to ask my friend to check the joints. He bought the car with y'alls products prep installed so I'm not too sure.

No worries! Let us know if you have any questions and feel free to email us at support@garagistic.com. Hope to help get your guys' cars sorted!@@tonykeo87

Most stock syncros at this point in our car's lives are generally a little tired already but we have not noticed any excess stress on transmission internals caused by our shifters 👍

If your shifter knob is mounted in the same method press-on method as an OEM shifter, then it would not work with our tall rod.

This fits e39s

@@garagistic mine has a zf 5 speed trans. Will it still work ? 🙏🏾

@@jrmensahs220 Should work with your zf 5 speed trans 💪

@@garagistic now what about the wiring that is in the original shifter where would i reroute yhay

@@ExtremeLocos Those wires are for the reverse light and we have customers just drill a small hole in the transmission tunnel and add a rubber grommet to avoid any cuts in the wiring 👍

Yes. But it's best to replace it. The oem selector has alot of play when it's worn out.

We have not yet tested it in an E12 but if the transmission tunnel hole is nearly the same size as an E30's, there is a possibility to make it work.

Email support@garagistic.com to get help.

Did garagistic get back to you yet? I had the same issue. No response back. I had to file down the DSSR and bushings.

@@TheSurveillanceKing on my e46 it’s really difficult to get into reverse, did you guys figure it out? I just have an eBay chassis shifter

Yes

5th gear lean would be a transmission detent issue and the solid mount shifter would unfortunately not fix it. The supreme shifter does a slightly better job masking the symptoms but to completely get rid of the 5th gear lean, the detents would need to be serviced.

@@garagistic ok sounds good! Thanks again!

Yes

This works for e90

Yessir it does fits E46s 👍

We offer multiple different size shifter rods including an OEM sized shifter rod as well 😉

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. Hope this answers your question but if not, shoot us an email over at support@garagistic.com!
