I was just over there at Terry's so now I know that the clip came off the linkage. Oops.

...what it is. If I were to guess, I'd expect it was the metal bow-shaped bracket where the shift carrier attaches to the transmission. Mine broke and my shifter became virtually useless as it lost its pivot point. Luckily I was only a block from a shop so I man-handled (two hands) it into second and limped over.

The new part is a bit thicker than the old one. The old one snapped right across each bolt hole.

Good luck. If that's it, hopefully they'll be able to get the part quickly.

Thanks Ritter, Jeff and
John for the quick responses.

the am!

Thanks again!

I am stranded in Austin..
I have had a failure in the linkage for the
transmission and need to find a shop
(other than JR BMW) to replace the
shifter rod, and a few of the bitch clips
on the transmission...
