      Would anybody know if the selector joint is different between getrag 260 from an 87 to a 89?

        I have one on my 94 325i.  It is fantastic.  The key to how it works is the inside of the forked part is a very tight fit over the bottom of the shifter and the joint on the trans, that is what eliminates the play.  Also measure center to center of the pins on the stock one.  There are many different lengths, mine was one that Rob at UUC had never seen before.

            so i think my trans is out of an 87 and from what ive read, i need to swap the selector joint from a 89+ g260 to have the UUC DSSR to work on my car. If anybody has any knowledge or experience on this, please feel free to chime in. my car is about to come out and play from hibernation and i would like this to go as smooth as possible.

              get this tool for the bish clip if you are changing the bushings with the trans in the car

              It really is the biggest pile of dung in the world to undo otherwise.

                Oh jeez. There are a lot of different lengths? I'm guessing e36 has two options as well?

                  make it adjustable length with a fine pitch threaded stud in the middle and jam nuts.

                      I bought a IE catback so I might as well just drop the driveshaft/exhaust to make everything easier to get to since I have to swap the selector joint from a 89+ g260. I'll post pics when I tackle this little project. Thanks for the input guys. Also Rowleym, I hope to see your final product if you go through with it.

                        This sounds like a good idea. Would that make it a pain though? Or do you just take out your stock one, adjust to length, put it in?

                          You would just adjust it to the length the one you are removing is=) You could even shorten or lengthen it to see what effects it has. It would make sense to see what the shortest one anyone would need is and then what the longest one is and make it work within that range.

                            A potential bad thing about it being adjustable is the fact that it transfers rotational force.  Any adjustment would be rotational (threaded rods, jam nuts, etc).  Therefore this adjustment could potentionally loosen and cause failure, or at a minumum horrible perfromance.

                            Yes, if it's thightened, you should be fine, however it is just a bad idea on a part like that.

                              Yes, Robert is right, this occurred to me last night and now am against the idea of that kind of adjustability. 

                              It would really suck to not be able to get into 1st and 2nd gear all of the sudden.

                                I agree with that as well.. Are all the other dimensions the same except center to center?

                                  I dont think so. I believe the centering of the slot on the selector shaft input may be offset or different widths on some of them.

                                    I am already in the works of making these, I have yokes for the G260 and ZF trans, and E36 M3 shifter, and have lengths and twists worked out. The yokes have been made, and just waiting to weld them up.
