Dinan D550-1005 shifter play in bearing cup?! New order

[stormtrooper90]

Thought I would be getting a solid piece of engineering with the reputation Dinan has… or had? This just doesn’t seem right, maybe it is though??

I ordered a short shift kit for the e90 and I’m concerned that the QC from the factory may have missed this… or maybe it’s something you can explain and is necessary? I assume that a ‘precision machined billet’ piece like this would be free of any play in a shifter.

I have been waiting weeks for these parts so I’m a little frustrated that when I finally had the time to take out my old shifter, I’m looking at this 🥲 hopefully I can get an answer or replacement ASAP

Any thoughts on this? I have sent to tech support at dinan & DMed Dinan_Engineering here



Thank you!
Daniel

I already have an auto solutions in an S54 E36. While, it’s nice, it adds more NVH than stock and supposedly more than dinan as well...additionally, I didn’t wanna wait ~3 months to get one, might have to wait anyways :/… there was no other option available… even OEM is 6-8 weeks wait 😭
