The Classic Design Shifter is a lightweight and affordable solution for shorter, more precise, and more mechanical gear changes
Designed for BMW manual gearbox applications in standard configuration, it can also be used with other transmissions that have a similar shifting mechanism and do not require reverse lockout inside the shifter
Features:
• Adjustable shift stroke — from ultra-short to a more OEM-like feel • Lightweight aluminum construction • High-quality durable bearing • Brass bushing and plastic washers at the main friction point for improved durability • Adjustable shifter position for comfortable centering • Rigid bolt-on mounting plates available for specific chassis, giving a stronger and cleaner installation than generic universal mounting solutions
The kit includes the shifter, installation plate, and hardware
The shift knob is removable and can be replaced with your own knob or one of our optional knobs. Thread size: M12x1.75
Installation is straightforward and does not require advanced experience or expensive tools
For the best result, we recommend using it together with the YDC BMW Shift Rod for a more precise and direct shifting feel. The shifter can also be installed with the OEM selector rod if it is in good condition
