    DSSR Install... and what else should I do while I'm in there?

    In just a few short weeks, my chariot is going in for it's spring tune... oil change, flushes, clean/adjust the brakes, swap out the 44's for the 135's... and I'm installing my new DSSR that's been sitting in my glove box since Christmas! Thank god... Anyway, I wanted to ask, for anyone who's installed one before and been in there, what else should I replace? Are there any other bushings/rods/clips or joints that would need it at 115k mi.? When my shifter is in gear, I have considerable side-to-side slop that the DSSR is suppose to eliminate, but I figured while I have the exhaust down and the drive shaft out, might as well kill two (or more) birds with one stone... I want to get my shifter back as close to factory spec. as possible... so... fire away! Thanks.
    Stathi - don't forget, you gotta tell me what portion of your's you replaced with BBK components, because I don't think I've felt a shifter with better linkage and feel than your's...

    Replace your springs in the gates that cause the Sticky 5th Gear (I don't know if it applies to 6spd manuals).

    And of course, CDV delete.

    Hey Channing!!

    So, I would do CDV while you are in there, very easy and noticeable difference.

    Now we talked about my shifter before, and honestly, not just because it is mine, but it is the best I have ever felt on anything including, all Ms from M3s to M6s and every generation, Porsches, S4s, Zs...it really is good. My dad had done UUC Evo ssk and DSSR on his M3 thinking it would be better than mine and in reality it wasnt. He was actually disappointed. The DSSR made a difference, but the Evo ssk didnt. I like UUC, but I think it kinda overrated. My B&M has felt the same since 26k and there is 60k on it right now. Hasn't loosened up at all! It has the perfect feel and throw...you felt it

    This is mine, Channing: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-12...0-6-speed.aspx

    I had the Evo3 SSK in my e92. I liked it. Much shorter than stock. I did not do the DSSR.

    I just hate that UUC tried to claim that their shifters didn't rust when there was clear proof that they did. There is a huge thread on bimmerforums about it.

    Not sure if mine ever got rust. It probably didn't (I rarely let the car go outside).
