BMW Short Shift Lever noise?

I_can_drive_stick_now · 11-18-2008, 11:15 AM

I recently bought the OEM BMW Short Shift Lever for my e92 from Tischer and had it installed.

Now, i'm hearing this faint vibration noise from the gearbox. It is not a metallic grinding noise, but more like plastic noise. It is more noticeable on higher RPMs and mostly on first and second gear.

Did anyone with this mod experience this?

Thanks

I had the same problem. Mine was caused by the leather boot (it would rub together when in 2nd, 4th, or 6th gear). I just used some interior cleaner to clean the leather and the problem was solved.

Thanks, I will give that a try and hopefully that is it.. But aside from the noise, it's definitely a worth while mod
