What have you bought exactly...?

If you had gone the Z3 / Z4 shifter route there's a 'how to' article in the 'Articles' section in the menu bar of this site...

If you've bought something else, then you had better show us photos or something so we can help you out... :)

oh! didnt realise there was options! i bought it from ebay and it was listed as a e30 short shift. the best way to describe it is that one end its got a slit cut into the round bar, and on the other its got a round hole and ive got 2 bushes which pop into that that must fit to some part of the linkage?
prob not much help but im not good at explaining things! lol

How much did you pay for it...?

Sounds like it'll be a direct replacement for your existing one. Look in the articles section at the top and it'll show you how to replace the lever.

Need pics though. Got the ones from the Ebay ad...? Or a link to it so we can look?
