    Yeah, old school but it works.

      Yeah not being able to just click "buy" feels a bit archaic. BUT, Ronald is extremely helpful and makes each shifter to order. I'm glad I got to speak to him before buying, as we bounced some ideas around and ended up speccing out a custom shifter that was exactly what I wanted.

          I love how he doesn't have a commerce site, the guy is smart. He doesn't want to deal with the bullshit associated with people who don't know what they want or what to expect so a call is in order. An ssk is a very personal thing so I think more often than not people change their minds on what they want after speaking to him.

          He provides much more information than he could possibly put on a website and he's a really nice guy, well at least he fooled me 😂

            I have a bmw lighted 6 speed knob with a divorced alcantara boot, that metal ring on the collar of the other knobs just bugs me.
            Do you have AS SSK? Yours isn’t off centered?

              Mine is being made as we speak. I specifically asked Ron about this and he said did you hear otherwise?

                When i was working with him to have mine made, he had it as one of the parameters you could request. Ex. you could request it to default to the OEM middle position in neutral, or slightly right/left. As long as you let him know this is important to you he should be able to accomodate.

                  While we are on the subject, anyone know what shifter the VAC motorsports lever comes from?

                    VAC, so they probably pull it out of a dumpster.

                        That's the 330d shifter. P/n 25117527252

                        Looks like vac is selling it for significantly less than other retailers.

                            I had the OEM short shifter kit that was on Tischer/getbmwparts and paired that with AKGs selector rod and it was very smooth.

                            Currently running RTDs shorter v2 or 3 can't remember, but whatever one allows for use of OE knobs. I bought it for dual purpose street/track. Took some getting use to, but I enjoy it, plus it doesn't require modification to any of the console.

                            Never installed mine as I had them installed when other work was being performed. A tech did advice me though that you could loosen the rear trans mounts and get it to sink enough to install the selector rod.

                              I have the 330d and never noticed that it's offset over to the right, but now I want to try the e60 just to see. I probably put that in 10 years ago so it's just normal to me now. I also did a shifter rebuild kit with one of the bushings replaced with delrin. There's another bushing I didn't put delrin in but kind of wish I did.

                              Now if my synchros just worked better.

                                I much prefer to stick with the stock knob. Any folks here using the RE Octane kit and happy? Thx.
