   I need a correct shift lever (chrome metal rod beteen the transmission and the shift knob) for the second generation ("B" Box) 4 speed transmission. The one in my car post restoration does not seem to be the correct part:ermm: and the transmission is not fully going into reverse.:disappoin We are guessing that the lifter is just a little different that the correct shifter lever. Anyone have an extra? Please PM me. Thanks jlp

   Attended my third monthly local Z club meet last Tuesday, and I was struck by how many of the guys either own or admire BMWs. I myself DD a '95 525i 5-speed and previously owned an '86 635CSi 5-speed: Just curious as to how many of us are BMW fans as well. What do you have / admire?

   Hi all, Im having trouble getting Fast System started. The other three programs work OK, but Fast System keeps giving Error code 53 when starting up. Normally I dont have any problems with this since I only use the E-FAST System and Parts Manager, but now Im looking for a distributor cap and rotor button for a S15 Silvia 2001 with SR20DE engine. E-FAST only goes to 1978. The distributor has a part number: 22100 65F12. The manufacture is Mistubishi. Does anyone know the part numbers for the distributor cap and rotor button. Any help is much appreciated.

   After 15 years with the company, I was layed-off yesterday. Cons: 1) At my age, getting another engineering job's going to be difficult. _ Have to see what happens. Who knows, I may have to re-invent myself... Pros: 1) Got some severence, so I have time for a job search / no reason to panic. 2) I'll have some time to complete my Z! (A/C hose, fix minor details, install the 5-speed). 3) I'll be able to finish my neighbor's Z cosmetic refresh. 4) I'll even be able to go sailing every week through Summer!
