BMW E46 M3 DSSR SELECTOR ROD
Introducing the Garagistic bent DSSR for your E46 m3. This DSSR is meant for E46 models that have the selector rod part number 25112228711. This selector rod was found in 6 speed E46 m3s (manual transmission only). This will only work in M3 cars. For 325i or 330i cars, we have different DSSRs available for those models as well.
Please check that this is the correct part number found in your car before ordering.
Well, it stands for double shear selector rod. A DSSR will spread the torsional force on both sides of the selector rod instead of the OEM piece which connects from one side only. Based on the concept of the E30 M3 DTM cars of legend! DSSR setups mean less play in the shifter, (decreases side to side motion). This means a more precise and smooth shift every time. Now to the details. Our DSSR is made of stainless steel and then tig welded in Westminster CA, USA.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
Step 1: With a flat head screwdriver remove the locking clip by pushing on the inside lip of the clip to slide it off the selector rod on the shifter side on selector joint side.
Step 3: Grab your Garagistic DSSR and starting with the selector joint side first line up the holes on the DSSR with the selector joint. It should be a tight fit but if it's too tight open the tabs a bit till you achieve proper fitment. Once aligned slide the provided pins in with a washer on each side followed by the c-clip to lock it in. Repeat on the shifter side.
Notice: If you upgraded to a Z3 shifter you will have to shave down the sides of the shifter for the DSSR to fit

How to bend your DSSR
If your OEM selector rod has a bend, you may need to replicate that bend for proper fitment in your car. This process is very straightforward and all you need is a vice and some sockets.
Arrange your sockets as shown in the photos below with the larger socket on the bottom. Make sure your DSSR is perfectly flat because if you bend it at an angle, then it may effect fitment in your car. Carefully and slowly tighten your vice until you nearly match the bend in the stock selector rod.

Note: If your DSSR gets "kinked", see photo, do not worry because even some OEM BMW selector rods are manufactured with a similar "kink".
