I gave up waiting for AKG to manufacture their DSSR again and ended up picking up one of the 22RPD pieces. Seems very well made. Way better than the Garagistic one I put in my E30. Nicely machined links on the ends, good welds, etc. Can't comment on fitment yet as I haven't installed it yet but I will update when I have it in the car and some time with it.
Thanks for doing the homework and letting us know about it's existence, Bambambambee. |

It's been a few months, and I've street driven the car a good amount by now. Shifts continue to feel nice and tight, and my only complaint is that the shifts are too notchy when the transmission is cold. I cannot get it into 1st gear sometimes, so I find myself rowing through the gears at red lights to ensure that it'll go into first when the light turns greens. In my experience, this is typical Redline fluid behavior, but I don't know if another fluid will make it that much better? I guess I'll find out in 30K miles (when I'm due for a transmission fluid change lol). When the fluid is hot, the notchiness tones down and is more tolerable but I think the BMWP shifter is too notchy for my liking. It just feels weird having a notchy shifter but a super smooth clutch engagement (CDV delete). |

So I finally got mine installed after letting it get better with age on the shelf dor about 3 months. My thoughts on it are that it is a good piece at a reasonable price and unlike AKG (which is still oos!) actually available. Would buy again.
The 22rpd dssr is paired with the Turner poly shift arm bushing, ECS Teflon bushing kit for in the front of the shifter arm and a BMW Performance shift lever. There's zero slop in the shifter now (my detents are still in great shape!) and while the Performance Shift lever is a bit notchy, it's not too over the top for daily driving. Bottom line, good buy and would purchase again. |
