Upgrade your classic BMW shift feel with the Garagistic 147mm DSSR, the double shear selector rod engineered for tighter, more precise gear changes on M30 big six powered models. This BMW shift linkage upgrade replaces OEM selector rod 25111220539 and fits select E12, E23, E24 and E28 manual transmission cars including 528i, 535i, M5, 628CSi, 635CSi, M6 and 735i. If you are chasing a tighter shifter, reduced play and confident engagement, this Garagistic DSSR is the proven solution.
DSSR stands for double shear selector rod. Unlike the factory single-shear linkage, the Garagistic DSSR supports the joint from both sides to spread torsional forces evenly.

Ideal for road or track, this is a must-have BMW M30 shifter upgrade for drivers who demand precision.
