Have a look here Click Me

All the part numbers and prices are there but gearstick is for the 1.9 Z3.

The 2.8 gearstick part number is 25 11 1 222 884, but I cant get the price on my ETK. I wouldnt of thought it will be much different to the 1.9 price.

All the bushes come out with the selector rod IIRC, so its just a case of replacing old with new.

I think the 2.8 gives a shorter shift than the 1.9, but the shorter you go the more notchy the gear change will be.

I dont think its anything to worry about though, Dave doesnt seem to mind and I think Geeman has also used the 2.8 lever.

The article only shows the 1.9 lever, but fitting the 2.8 should be the same. Maybe a little more bending of the selector rod is needed.

I bought a 2.8 one today. Fitting it tonight.

Taxdriver has a 2.8 one and its brilliant to use.
