Product Information

Reduces shifter throw by 20-25% while increasing shifter feel and accuracy

Dinan's billet short-shifter kits effectively reduce the amount of throw necessary to make gear changes providing a sportier feel. Larger BMW models with larger gear boxes require more leverage to make the gear changes, which is why BMW employs different shift handle configurations for various applications. The Dinan® short shifters are application specific as well in order to achieve an appropriate reduction of throw, providing the associated benefits without making the desired gear difficult to locate or require inordinate effort; a common complaint with other manufacturers' short-shift kits where a ''one size fits all'' approach is common. In addition, Dinan's short-shifters retain the nylon pivot ball and shifter bushing, providing the same smooth and quiet operation as the original shifter.

Other manufacturer's shifters employ metal components which tend to be noisier and induce a notchy feel. The short-shifter is also rubber isolated for a solid feel and vibration free operation. Simple to install. Zero maintenance, Dinan's billet short-shifter has a 20% to 25% reduction in throw with a self-lubricating bearing for the ultimate in smooth short shifter technology.

Benefits:

  • A precise 20-25% throw reduction
  • Counter balanced to reduce effort
  • Two piece 416 Stainless Steel & Aluminum Stick assembly
  • Two piece stick provides vibration free operation
  • Dampened pivot cup with self lubricating pivot ball
  • Polymer Iglide T-500 lower pivot bushings

Good purchase
Very easy and simple install on my 99 e36 323i. Only took me about 30 mins to complete. Very happy with the results but I would say it gives more like 50% reduction in throw, not that its a bad thing. Very high quality materials and would highly recommend to anyone that owns a vehicle that this shifter fits.

Fantastic upgrade!
I went into this project with low expectations. E39 540's have really long throws and even 20-25% reduction was (in my mind) going to still be a long throw. The part sat on the shelf for a while after seeing so many videos and articles insist that you have to drop the exhaust and driveshaft to complete this upgrade. While I had the car up on jack stands working on the clutch slave cylinder, I happened to glance up at the shifter and started thinking that it WAS possible to do without completely tearing apart the car. 45 minutes later, this SSK was installed and I was BLOWN away with how much shorter and more positive the shifts were. I haven't measured the exact throw now, but it's probably closer to 45-50% reduction! Well worth it and typical Dinan quality. I'm very happy with it, just wish I had installed it sooner!

Questions & Answers

Ask a question
Question Posted by Chase
If my factory shifter has a lot of slop and play, will install this kit eliminate that or would I need to buy the rest of the consumables (bushings, rods, etc) along with the kit to tighten everything up?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
The Dinan kit will tighten the lever pivot and shorten the throw, but it will not eliminate play caused by worn selector-rod joints, carrier bushings, pins, clips, or washers. If the factory shifter currently has substantial slop, we recommend inspecting and replacing those wear items at the same time; the selector rod itself normally only needs replacement if it is damaged or its joint surfaces are worn.
