You still find the ways to make your car better and better every week! Mad respect! Happy Thanksgiving!

Well done on getting camera shots in those hard to reach and see places! Excellent video

Your side to side slack in the shifter that you had before you installed that rod comes from worn out bushings. The E9x manuals uses a series of bushings within the gear lever system. There is even a ball-socket bushing at the end of the gear lever stick. By replacing all those bushings you will have an extremely solid shifter with zero slack/play. Will feel just like brand new. I know this because my E90 had the same issue but with far more slack, and once I replaced all those bushings there was virtually zero slack and felt like a whole new car afterwards.

I have been looking for a video just like this for almost two years now! Thank you!

Hey! You need for sure 25mm spacers or your rear wheels... it will look very nice! 👍it did it on my car and it changed totally. Thanks for another excellent video as usual!!!

Been on the fence about this for awhile, really didn’t want a short shifter but this seems great! Just bought it

Super helpful- been debating short shifter as had on Miata speed and loved it but think this is a better alternative to tighter up the shift. Appreciate all you share - it’s unique and unexpected, and well done.

You take care of the car.👍 💪 Respect

I fitted UUC motorwerks DSSR's to my E36's years ago, perfect fit, positive feel, better feel when shifting up or down, takes lots of sway and unwanted movement out of both directions, definitely recommend these 100 percent 👍

U most have one off the smoothest drivin bmw, the maintenance on her is on a other level !

More fantastic camera and lighting work especially the second half when you get the lighting in the guibo/shifter area!!!

Well i hope you like it. But personally I just get the Ebay $20 shifters grind down the plastic if needed on the "C" clip area and it solves the whole thing!! Short shift and notchy as heck burgers!

Very nice upgrade. Dutch regards, Nico.

Awesome! Thanks again to share all this

try to hit up Roland from Autosolutions. He makes shortshifters based on customer needs for BMW. Massive stainless steel. Also the selector is really rigid from him. Also different bushings for stiff feel.

I like newer BMW 6MT, but this video is another reason I prefer 7DCT.

There's a guy here in Australia that can modify the part that the selector Rod attaches to on the transmission to Stiffen it up. The DSSr because you are replacing a worn plastic bushes and shims Fully refreshed OEM parts feel pretty much the same otherwise

Great shots! Bravo.

Beautiful upgrade !!! Well the shape of it looks more reliable than the original design!! What does this mean? It will be harder to damage ⚙️ gear teeth 😉

Hey, I was wondering if you could give a long term update on the 3m window weld in your engine mounts that you did a couple years ago. I'm replacing my motor mounts soon, and was wondering if the 3m window weld is worth it. Thanks for all the great diy's, keep up the great work!

Happy Thanksgiving brother...👍🦃🏁

Stop making me spend so much money ha... well done once again👍

this e90 is stupid good

I wish my center brace with the 8 torx would come out lol

Poly bushes and new shifter and linkage will tighten things right up

Ouu I’m definitely getting this!

You should get an exhaust!!

Awesome Video,

Maybe my bushings are worn but mine felt worse after this. I have a 5/09 production date and it said I needed the long version. I still needed a short version according to realoem and BMS. They swapped it out for me luckily.

thanks

Hell of a lot of work for such a small gain

This is on my short list. I'm cheap so I'll be making my own with an adjustable length to put my cheap Chinese short shifter in a better position.

You should do a video on the clutch delay valve. I heard you can delete them or put a upgraded one ☝️

? for you: when you lowered the car near the end of the video, why not just lower the front wheels to the ground with the front pump jack after removing the front jack stands? Is the angle too steep for the front bumper? Thx. Great video, btw

Detention pins stop side slop

Did you ever figure out how to remove/reduce that side to side slop in neutral/gear?

@VehicularDIY FIY ECS discontinued the short version.

Anyone that did this upgrade notice a difference? Just observing I think that shifter linkage is the same thing the RTD shifter uses.

The problem is you’re shifting wrong. The springs will automatically select the gear of you just “angle” towards them. You grab the shifter by the top, not the side. Top of the shifter in the center of your palm, fingers to pull, “heel” of the palm pushes. Down and back, diagonal up, straight back, diagonal up, back slightly to the right. You should be able to shift without looking in one smooth motion. No “gating”. Hope that helps. Try this with the car off and eyes closed.

Been wanting to do this, but Xdrive not sure if I can do it form topside.

Any idea if this is available on an n55 f10? Man after watching that sequence we need to crowd fund you a lift brother!! You could produce double the content just in time saved!! :-)

Isnt there also a bushing on the whole bracket that goes between the chassis and transmission. Maybe there is some slack in that one too?

What type of grease did you use on the pivot ball? Thanks.

Are the product for N52 available?

I have a question ? Can you make a video on how to rebuild a front differential ? I have a 2009 bmw 328i xdrive

Hello ! You have a link for the short rod on a 1serie E87 please ?

very nice work you take good care of the bmw👍 where can you buy the part do you have a link by chance Greeting Dennis

can you show us some 1-2-3-4 pull clips with shifter visible

How is the shift from 1st to 2nd?.. mine feels a bit notchy..

What about the shifting arm/bracket that the shift lever goes into? There are 3 bushings in total holding that bracket, do you think they could be the cause for the remaining side-to-side play?

Hey brother what is your opinion on having the dynamic autowerk turbos and your stock exhaust? I only ask because I too have an OEM+ setup where I plan to upgrade to stage 2s in the future, but retain the oem exhaust. I don't have primaries but I kept my secondaries and oem muffler and I find it's the best daily sound. Do you think it will cause pre-mature wear on the turbos because of their claimed restriction? Thank you.

Can we buy same thing to e46 ?

Does this work for F22?

Do you happen to know which one is valve 6 on a 6hp19z valve body? I have a 2010 Bmw 528i with a 4e25 code any help is appreciated thanks in advance

Is there any benefit to installing this with a short throw?

Can you do a dash cam video?

@1:22 who the hell welded your exhaust? Stevie Wonder?? 😲

Is it the same part for e92

I have a 2007 e92 will the short one work?

This won’t work on my n52 6spd?
