Guibo madness

Can't seem to prevent the guibo from hitting the shift selector. Do guibos come in different diameters? I've done a site search and used shims, etc. to make the guibo clear the bracket which supports the shift assembly. Seems there's no room to do anything else.

Thanks.

I went through this when I had my driveshaft work done. After re-assembled everything the guibo was hitting my shifter rod.

I learned from the FAQ that guibos when new have a metal band around them to squeeze it to fit. I don't remember that when I last replaced it. Mine is in near perfect condition so I re-used it WITHOUT a metal band. Needless to say it was very difficult to install. It was distorted and hit the shifter rod.

During the last few months I had my gearbox rebuilt and while it was out I strapped a large hoseclamp around the guibo and it installed perfectly. Easy to bolt on and no rubbing.

Picture below. REMEMBER TO REMOVE CLAMP BEFORE DRIVING.

Also if you have a leak at the rear seal of that tranny, or at the selector rod seal, it will drip onto the guibo. those guibos get soft and grow (sounds kinky)when they get oil saturated. A pic would sure be helpful

Yep they were designed to flex a bit and can handle a lot of HP too. If you make that connection rigid then something much more expensive up or down the line will take the force and eventually fail

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
