Why is there a restocking fee?

Well the first reason is that it was in the terms and conditions on checkout. However there is a better reason. Honest companies charge restocking fees for a very simple reason: to keep costs (and thus prices for you) down when dealing with the return of items that are not defective. There are a lot of costs associated with processing an order. If you buy something and then return it, there is more costs to handle the return.

All returns must be thoroughly inspected when received back at the warehouse to ensure they are in 100% resalable condition. New packaging materials usually need to be utilized because it is typically only designed to be used two times (initial use and possible return shipment). Time and materials involved inspecting, repackaging and restocking are not insignificant. The bottom line is restocking fees help keep prices low for you!

For this reason we do not accept returns on any used or previously installed products. We will not sell used products to our customers who are expecting brand new Garagistic parts. At times we may have to charge a higher restocking fee on a return if the parts are damaged during the return shipping. It is your responsibility to ensure the safe arrival of the parts you are returning to us. Thanks!

Garagistic "PRO" Self Centering Chassis Short Shifter - E30, E36, E39, E46, E60 E63

OVERVIEW

Introducing our "PRO" self-centering shifter for your E30, E36, E39, E46, E60 or E63! This is the aluminum rod version. 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 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!

Installation notes: Please keep in mind that all shifters will come with an extended selector joint. The reason for this is that in some cars, the shifter has a slight lean toward back of the car (because the self-centering mechanism takes some room in the front of the shifter, the whole thing sits a little further back then original placement of the shifter. The extended selector joint is not only an upgrade but also moves the shifter a little more centered. In an E36, the extended selector joint is enough to recenter the shifter. In an e30, it will still have the slightest angle towards back of the car. If you want to push it more towards the center, a 10mm longer dssr then what originally came with your car will be needed (not included). Another option to center shifter is to mount it in reverse. This will give clearance since self-centering mechanism is now closer to the rear of the car. However, you will then need to drill your own holes into the chassis.

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

Installation times:

E30 - 1 hour (doesn't require dropping of exhaust)

E36 - 45mins (doesn't require dropping of exhaust)

E46 - 2 hours (will require dropping of exhaust)

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.

We highly recommended pairing your shifter with a Garagistic DSSR and selector joint to provide the most direct shifting experience possible. We have over 80 configurations of DSSRs, 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.

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

Overview: 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.

For those that are unsure, we recommend going with the Medium or Tall rod option for a more street-friendly shifting experience. Our self-centering shifts are SHORT!

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

Some shifters will also have a slight tilt once installed, due to the tilt of the transmission. This can be adjusted by using the 5th gear tilt screw.

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