Garagistic "PRO" Self Centering Chassis Short Shifter - E82 or E92

OVERVIEW

THIS IS A PREORDER ITEM! The first batch is estimated to ship in October!

Introducing our "PRO" self-centering shifter for your E82 or E92! If you prefer a carbon fiber rod, be sure to check out our other listing. This self-centering shifter is one of the best you can find on the market. A perfectly tuned Torsion Spring with just the right amount of self-centering force is at the heart of all our self-centering shifters. The Garagistic Chassis Mounted Short Shifter is made from 7075 aluminum and comes anodized black and is THE MOST CUSTOMIZABLE SELF-CENTERING SHIFTER ON THE MARKET with a variety of stalk lengths and shift knob options. Customize your shifter just to your taste with the Garagistic "Pro" Self Centering Solid Mounted Short Shifter!

Our shifter also comes with a brand-new gasket to seal your interior (some shifters dont include this!).

All this without the need to cut your center console! We thought of everything in the design of this shifter to make sure it's truly the ultimate shifter on the market!

FEATURES

Features of Garagistic Self-centering shifter include:

• Shifter lean adjustment (side-to-side lean): Our shifter will make up for the very common 5th gear lean found in some E36 and E46 cars (if you didn't replace your shifter detent pins). Simply loosen a screw in the front, move the shifter to the center (or wherever you want), tighten and you're done.
• OEM Shift knob Compatibility: Another feature that is exclusive to the Garagistic PRO self-centering shifter. We offer an OEM-style shaft that allows the use of OEM shift knobs for that stealth look.
• The most customizable shifter on the market: With over 600 configurations, you can customize the height, knob type, shift knob, and finish of your shifter to match the aesthetic of your interior as you intended it to be.
• Front-to-back fine adjustment: You can further position the shifter where you want forward and back which will fine-tune front the rear shifter lean.
• Serviceability: Unlike all other shifters on the market, you don't need to remove your center console to lubricate. Simply remove the shift knob and spray WD40. We made a "tunnel" system in the shifter that allows lubrication of all bearings and pivot points on the way down.
• Ultra Smooth Shifting Feel: Because our shifter is the only one in the world for BMWs that have bearings at all pivot points, you do not need to service the shifter as others. These bearings mean there is never a possibility of metal-on-metal contact. Other shifters rely on bronze or delrin which can squeak or fail to cause metal-on-metal friction. This can cause a lot of resistance to shifting. Our shifters require less servicing and offer a lasting buttery smooth operation.
• Lifetime Warranty: Similar shifters only offer a 1-year warranty at best. We are so sure of this product, we offer a lifetime warranty just like we do with everything we make in-house.

INSTALLATION

Installation is a breeze thanks to the 3 existing holes in the chassis - simply bolt it up and you're good to go. Also fits older cars like E30 and E36 (just drill out 3 holes in the square stampings in your trans tunnel!)

Please note: As with all solid shifters, they must be used in conjunction with upgraded poly or solid transmission bushings and motor mounts.

This shifter is highly recommended to also be paired with a Garagistic DSSR to provide the most direct shifting experience possible. We have over 80 configurations of DSSR's, so it is crucial to include the last 7 digits of your VIN# for us to reference and assist us in determining which DSSR is appropriate for your application if you don't know which one is right for you.

If you did a transmission swap, you will need to tell us which selector rod you used.

Which size rod should I get for my car?

• Tall Rod
• Longer throw, less effort (less notchy), places the shift knob in perfect height with a Hydro E-Brake
• Short Rod
• Shorter throw, more effort (more notchy)
• Medium Rod
• A perfect middle ground, our most popular shifter rod height.
• OEM Option
• Slightly taller than the short rod, this option allows you to retain a factory BMW style shift knob for the ultimate stealth look
• In general, the longer the rod the longer the shift throw will be and the less notchy it will feel while the shorter rod produces a shorter shift throw and a more notchy feel.
• It is important to note that due to the varying heights of center consoles in different chassis, certain size rods may be too small/large for you.
• For example, the E30 center console is shorter than the E36 center console so a short height shifter rod will be too short in an E36.

Carbon Fiber rods are available. Sold separately and can be found here: Carbon Fiber Shifter rods or in this listing as a combo.

Please include your vehicle's Year and Model in the notes on checkout!
