Earl Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I changed the pedal ratio and switched to a smaller master cylinder. It will require just a bit more force than stock brakes and the pedal will not be mushy=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Media blasted the shifter carrier It was a pain trying to get the rouge out of the inset spots so I decided to clean it up the easiest way I could=) My orders from Garagistic and Ireland Engineering also arrived I am currently ordering all of my clutch components and have a dssr on the way as well=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 DSSR arrived and is the perfect length. Glad that the e30 m3 lever ended up being the only one that was even closeCurrently modifying my z3 lever to fit. BMW revised the bushing at the bottom of the lever to eliminate the need for the yellow washers. Unfortunately that makes it too wide to fit in the DSSR.

jc43089 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Interesting, didn't know that about some shift levers. Don't take off too much, it should be very snug fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I am taking it off very slowly with 220 grit sand paper=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I was at it for an hour and still didn't remove enough material. Today will be round two=) Edit: How tight should the fitment be? I know there should be no play but how hard should it be to move the dssr on the shift lever? Right now I can fit it by hand pressing hard and it takes a little force to move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhundley Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 You want it to move freely but I shouldn't have any side to side movement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 My flywheel got finished up yesterday=) My clutch kit should be on it's way here shortly and I am picking up a transmission on Saturday. Once I get the trans, I will be cleaning it up and replacing the shifter detent springs, input/output shaft seals, selector shaft seal, and the selector rod joint.

Earl Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 OE is 23 or 25mm. Lee recommends 17-19mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doorman Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Earl Of you want the garagistic Derlin front and rear bushing kit lemme know. Bought it for my rebuild but it was wrong. I think the e30/36 are the same parts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I actually have Garagistic front carrier bushings and the rear one is actually different on an e36=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Picked up another getrag 250 Saturday to replace the one that was in the car. I had some first gear issues and figured I should really replace it while I am doing everything else. The trans mounts that were on it were some of the worst I have seen=P It looks like they were separated and the trans was just resting on them... Anyone ever see a selector rod joint like this? I have a feeling it is some cheap off brand replacement. Good thing I am replacing it anyways=) Here is a comparison of the clutch fork pivot pins. The middle is the one from my car and the one on the right is from the "new" trans. I also cleaned up the clutch fork, media blasted it, and have it ready for powder coating. The wear was pretty minimal. I started cleaning up the trans a little yesterday. Still not near as clean as I want but it's better. Hoping to finish cleaning it this week so that I can pull the old seals. Ordering the new seals, detent springs, selector rod joint, bitch clip, and clutch fork retaining spring as well.
