'88 E30

The CSB is mounted on the e36 DS on the opposite shaft than the e30 DS. Just make sure the offset side is mounted the same as the e30 DS was. This sounds confusing but when you see it in front of you and side-by-side it makes perfect sense.

Thanks for the heads up. Still on the fence about where to order from. Wholesale something or other is where I'll most likely go.
As far as shift stuff goes
I was thinking to just order the condor kit with the short knob (?) the uuc evo3 with dssr is like $460. I've been told it's worth it, but idk. Rebuilt stock stuff with Delrin would still be better than nothing I suppose

I'm not sure what you are running for engine and trans mounts, but I built this floor mount shifter like the AKG one and MAN it's amazing. It's not finished in this picture, but I have a solid brass handle on it now and it's killer.
This is in my daily beater.

Everything's out of the car right now, so the bitch clip won't be that big of a bitch haha
-
The engine and trans will come out before the shifter ever gets loose again
-
Okay, anyways. I'm just saying it's an epic setup and I'm never gonna miss a gear again. Amazing to drive with.

I believe it! I just want a decent shifter feel. The car has other areas that need attention first lol. Like putting it back together
-
I like mine a lot. But I've never shifted a floor shifter.

I just ended up going with the condor ssk. Gonna toss a zhp knob on it and call it fine for now. Maybe pick up the dssr for it at a later date.
Or buy it the next time the engine comes out. Lol.
-
Never used a z3 shifter. Never used a zhp knob. But I have used sloppy shifter and I know I hate them.
-
^ I second this. I tried it on a g260 and it was real notchy and hard to get into gears at higher rpm. I have a zf now tih the m3 rod and it is a buttery smooth shift.
-
With the ZF I have the m3 rod in it now. If I hate the z3 I can swap it out. Or sell it.

It ended up being Sachs stuff (from gripforce)
Would of had the engine in today. But condor is taking their sweet time shipping parts. Currently awaiting the shift rebuild kit.
Trans fluid was changed, everything is on and torqued.
Interesting thing about the pilot bearing. The one we removed we used a home made puller out of some nuts and bolts. It came out eventually. The kit from gripforce sent two clutch alignment tools and two pilot bearings. The one on the left is what I removed, the one on the right is the one they sent that was smaller. (They also sent a correctly sized one) without paying attention we put in the incorrect pilot bearing (smaller one in the pic) and the puller wouldn't work on it because it was a smaller size. So I busted out two slices of bread, (BMW is super picky about what kind of bread you use in their engine blocks) Had to use split top wheat and remove the crust, Sara Lee is all I'll use for bearing removal, wonder bread is all BS) shoved it into the pilot hole and it popped out, cleaned out the cavity and put in the correct pilot.
