B C Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 get this tool for the bish clip if you are changing the bushings with the trans in the car http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=143787 It really is the biggest pile of dung in the world to undo otherwise.

Rowleym Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Oh jeez. There are a lot of different lengths? I'm guessing e36 has two options as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 make it adjustable length with a fine pitch threaded stud in the middle and jam nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I would need a 198mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhundley Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I bought a IE catback so I might as well just drop the driveshaft/exhaust to make everything easier to get to since I have to swap the selector joint from a 89+ g260. I'll post pics when I tackle this little project. Thanks for the input guys. Also Rowleym, I hope to see your final product if you go through with it.

Rowleym Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 make it adjustable length with a fine pitch threaded stud in the middle and jam nuts. This sounds like a good idea. Would that make it a pain though? Or do you just take out your stock one, adjust to length, put it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 You would just adjust it to the length the one you are removing is=) You could even shorten or lengthen it to see what effects it has. It would make sense to see what the shortest one anyone would need is and then what the longest one is and make it work within that range.

REKIII Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 A potential bad thing about it being adjustable is the fact that it transfers rotational force. Any adjustment would be rotational (threaded rods, jam nuts, etc). Therefore this adjustment could potentionally loosen and cause failure, or at a minumum horrible perfromance. Yes, if it's thightened, you should be fine, however it is just a bad idea on a part like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yes, Robert is right, this occurred to me last night and now am against the idea of that kind of adjustability. It would really suck to not be able to get into 1st and 2nd gear all of the sudden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowleym Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I agree with that as well.. Are all the other dimensions the same except center to center? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I dont think so. I believe the centering of the slot on the selector shaft input may be offset or different widths on some of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I am already in the works of making these, I have yokes for the G260 and ZF trans, and E36 M3 shifter, and have lengths and twists worked out. The yokes have been made, and just waiting to weld them up. YoungCR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I wish. When I do r&d I don't pay too much, so turn around is slow. But I might just suck it up, it has been a long time lol Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassboy3313 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I would be interested in one for the e21 if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigjae1976 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Some selector rods have a subtle bend. I do like the idea of a double shear rod. I've had one in my 330 and M3...makes a significant difference. I'd go with AKG, just better quality. I got a DSSR for my 330. Spend 4 hours trying to get it on. One of the ends were a slightly off so it would not go on. They said it wasn't possible. I bitched and they did an exchange. The new one went right on.
