I need part #11 in the diagram of this ‘sloppy shifter’ article. Do you sell it, or where can I get it best

Thank you, great photos and article.

Likely the linkage rod clip indicated as item 12 in the diagram has fallen off. Best to check and confirm.

The shifter started to get sloppy and then it locked up. I was able to unlock it by moving it with some force. Anyway, it is not going into any gears. Do I need to get a new shifter kit or a linkage rod. Thanks for helping.

Yes it will still work, however, the IX has a different length selector rod, so make sure you get the appropriate length.

Such as:

Thanks for this article. My shifter has ridiculous slop. I have a 1988 325ix that is a bit different. Will this method still work?
