Marchad - i'm going to move this to the Tech Section as you'll get a better response there hopefully.

Some of your linkage bushes have worn mate. They need replacing.

Have a look in the tech articles http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules.php?na ... echnz3.htm for the Z3 short shift mod.

If you don't fancy doing the short shift mod (it is worthwhile) then replace all the other parts on the list and you'll have a nice slick gearshift without the wibbly wobblyness

what linkage bushings do i nedd to replace the ones on the transmission or the ones connected to the shifter or both

The main culprit will be the gear selector rod joint, it sits on the end of the gear selector shaft on the back of the gearbox but you might as well change the lot while you have it in bits.
