Turner poly carrier arm bushing and RE delrin oval bushings installed. Actually I was surprised with the difference it made (the car is only 66k km/41k miles). I would say the amount of play in the shifter is similar as before, but it feels much more solid overall. Gear engagement is also more precise and direct. I didn't replace the rest of the bushings, since I intend to get a short shifter in some time, but these alone are definitely worth it.
On a side note, these harder bushings introduce some NVH. I actually like it, but for some people it may sound that something wrong is happening with the gearbox. Every gear change has now an audible click, you can hear some transmission whine when in gear and a bit louder synchro whine (?) when going into gear (especially 2nd). All these sounds are relatively silent and audible only with radio off and light throttle. And they are all great imo Can't wait until I get the SSK to complete the transmission upgrade.

There is no DIY. Unlike in the E46M, in the E9X this is quite straight forward. You do not need to remove any portion of the exhaust In the cabin, remove the knob, the boot and the fat piece of foam padding. In the bottom of the car, remove the trans shield |

Do I need to purchase any new parts as far as shifter bushings go? ( or does he include new stuff) I saw in another thread that some say to replace 2 of the pieces Instead of the full rebuild kit from ECS... |

he does not include the shifter bushings and I don't think he includes the plastic shifter 'cup' piece either

I don't, however, after the excellent experiences in my E46 M3 and the E92 M3 they'd have to give them away for me to opt away from the AS kit

How does one change this without dropping many things??
I have the transmission pan down..top boot etc out. I cannot see how it can be reached. This is what I have a look at |

I have a Autosolutions SSK which I will be having installed this coming Thursday. I also have a transmission refresh kit from ECS with Teflon shifter bushings. How will they make the shifting feel in place of the stock bushings? Less rubbery? Smoother(i hope?) I don't want to have to use more effort during shifting. I'm going for smoother and more precise..

The shifter shaft goes in through the top and then connects to the linkage through the connection you removed earlier |

Also here's some info courtesy of Turner which more clearly illustrates what needs to be done.
