I didn't waste much time installing the Garagistic solid mount shifter or DSSR into the E36 after getting it delivered. Weather was terrible but I didn't want to wait to install it.
If you are going to install this shifter you will absolutely need upgraded transmission mounts (and possibly engine mounts) to minimize drivetrain movement. You will also want to install this shifter with a matching DSSR for your application or you won't be getting the full benefit of this amazing shifter.
Additionally in this video I touch base on the differences in selector shaft joints. The Garagistic DSSR was designed with the old style joint in mind which requires the use of yellow plastic washers (shims) when installed on stock shifters. This style joint is no longer available and has been replaced by a part that has the shimming built into it. The shims are only requires for a factory selector rod. If you replace your joint from the old style to the new style you will need to file the bushing down slightly for the DSSR to fit.
Installation is pretty straight forward with this shifter and it seems to be a quality built piece. I recommend it based on my positive experiences so far.
