BILLET SHORT SHIFTER KIT E30/E
SKU: D00G D550-1004
Professional / shop required
Overview
Show original supplier description
Part #: D550-1004
Dinan's billet short-shifter kits effectively reduce the amount of throw necessary to make gear changes providing a sportier feel. Larger BMW models with larger gearboxes require more leverage to make the gear changes which is why BMW employs different shift handle configurations for various applications. The Dinan short shifters are application-specific as well in order to achieve an appropriate reduction of throw providing the associated benefits without making the desired gear difficult to locate or require inordinate effort, a common complaint with other manufacturers" short-shift kits where a ''one size fits all'' approach is common. In addition, Dinan's short-shifters retain the nylon pivot ball and shifter bushing providing the same smooth and quiet operation as the original shifter.
Features:
- A precise 20-25% throw reduction
- Counter balanced to reduce effort
- Two piece 416 stainless steel & aluminum stick assembly
- Two piece stick provides vibrationfree operation
- Dampened pivot cup with self lubricatingpivot ball
- Polymer Iglide T-500 lower pivot bushings
E30/E36/E39/E46
