A while back i`ve blown my manual Getrag, replaced it with another one but since then my shifter in 5th gear almost touches the trim and is hard to find.
The whole pattern moved a bit to the right.
When i first lowerd the car from the elevator, it would not shift into 4th and 5th as it was touching the trim. After a some fiddling from underneath, the guy that did the swap, managed to get it "fixed" but not entirely.
There is some slack in the shifter, like all e34`s have, bot i don`t think that is the main cause for this.
Is there a possibility that the shifter arm to be installed backwards?
The donor car for the gearbox was a 2.5 e34 if that helps

Yes, the shifter arm can be installed backwards. Just disconnect the linkage rod
and spin the lever 180*
They can also get really sloppy when the bushings and rear mount are bad.

If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue
