Introducing our "PRO" self-centering shifter designed for your E36! This version features an aluminum rod, while if you're keen on a carbon fiber rod, take a look at our other listing. Renowned for its exceptional quality, this self-centering shifter stands out in the market. At its core lies a meticulously tuned Torsion Spring, delivering the ideal amount of self-centering force. Crafted from 7075 aluminum, the Garagistic Chassis Mounted Short Shifter is THE MOST CUSTOMIZABLE SELF-CENTERING SHIFTER AVAILABLE, offering an array of stalk lengths and shift knob choices. Tailor your shifter precisely to your preferences with the Garagistic "Pro" Self Centering Solid Mounted Short Shifter! Now you can see exactly how our shifter will sit in your E36 interior.
In the E36, the shifter base sits below the shifter console opening and can be hidden under a Garagistic shift boot for a sleeper look.
Photo Model:
The E36 pictured is a 1998 US Spec E36 M3. Installed with our Pro Shifter is a Garagistic billet extended selector joint (included for free!) and our billet E36 M3/328i DSSR.
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 than 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.
Our shifter also comes with a brand-new molded gasket to seal your interior (some shifters don't include this!).
Installation times:
E36 - 45mins (doesn't 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 of Garagistic Self-centering shifter include
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 recommend pairing your shifter with a Garagistic DSSR 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.
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!
