- I was curious to see If it was possible to rebuild the gear shifter on the E46 chassis, without removing the exhaust and the driveshaft. So I bought a shifter rebuild kit and went for it. This video is not intended to be a step-by-step guide on how to rebuild the shifter, but rather to serve as proof that it's possible to tackle this job by going the "hard" way.

5 Speed lean... The transmission has detents that need replacing on the 5 speed.
It's not about the gearbox itself. Go for a short shifter kit, or a urethane bushing kit if you want the more precise feeling.
Did some more research into this and I think the next step will be to change the gearbox oil. Apparently the 5th gear detent got stuck, so maybe it can go back into place once some brand new hot oil circulates through there. If not, I’ll leave it as it is.
On the up side you did fix something that needed fixing.

@@alexderkach_500kkm..Not bad... Did you inspect timing chains and sprockets? In my case sprockets were worn out as much as their theeth got a tiger claw shape. And some of them were broken off even. This was on 305kkm. The mileage is original.
No, didn't inspect any of that. In my case, simply because it's not worth it. At this point, if the car decides to let go I'll simply accept it. Why? 1) I paid 750€ for it 6 years ago and 2) because it's getting increasingly more and more difficult to own this car due to environmental restrictions.
