BMW E28 M5: LVL 9-1 Shifter Removal

It's important to inspect the shifter to, especially if you can feel that loosey goosey slop in the shifter stick. You can remove it without taking out the driveline, but the catalytic converter HAS to come out to take the heat shield off without it being an absolute nightmare. This is just the removal process, I'll be replacing with a short shifter in another episode.

Dang dude, this is the most detailed, in-depth video documentation for BMW shift linkage I've ever seen. Thanks a lot, and well done! 🙏

Hi. How long this job took you? I have e24. I believe your e28 and my e24 has a lot of similarities. Need work on mine. Please let me know. Thank you Alex

Hi, it should only take about a day if you don't have any parts or bolts that are rusty. You don't have to remove everything, just the exhaust from the catalytic converter and the drive shaft from the back of the transmission. Are you planning to change it to a short shifter or are you keeping the original components and just changing the bushings?
