Jesus christ, the hacks that live on this planet. Looks like he cut the shifter down for a "short shift kit" which he told me the car had when I bought it. The previous owner cut some corners modding the car which I am having to go back and do-over properly. Make sure you dispose of the old one.right through the front window of the previous owners house. Please tell me I don't have to get under the car and loosen everything up in order to do this like for the full SSK upgrade.ĭamn, that first sentence made me blow beer out of my nose. Looks like I'll have to get a new shift lever. I know Momo shift knobs use set screws (I have a Momo on both my Z4 and E90). If that is the case, then you either need to replace the shift lever with a new part, or source an aftermarket shift knob that uses set screws that hold the knob to the shift lever. It looks too short for a standard E90 Shift lever, so I suspect someone cut it down, thus loosing the slot needed to snap the shift knob into. Remove all that shit that is on the shift lever and see if it has or has not been modified somehow. ![]() Obviously someone who owned the car before you didn't understand how BMW MT shift knobs fit onto the shift lever. ![]() I have no idea what all that shit is on the shift lever, but it should be completely bare metal and have a 2 - 3 millimeter slot cut into the top end of it where the mating part inside of the shift knob snaps onto the shift lever. Okay, the reason your shift knob keeps coming off is because the shift lever on your car is totally fucked.
