other 1600-2 clicking under shifter linkage

Paul  What you have are OE BMW guibos. Im not sure what others are talking about but the Guibos I sent you are specific to the 1600 and Im not even aware of an aftermarket supplier for these. Flex disc and guibo are one in the same

You can call them a guibo or flex disk - The point that should be made, is that they are made completely different.  The later doughnut type is made with metal inserts which the bolts pass through.  The early (and what BMW still uses today) are a fiber reinforced design, which are less likely to fall apart.  Ater years of vintage bmw ownwership, it's been my experience that the doughnut type "guibos" crack apart and fail pretty quickly.

Paul, I will dissassemble and see what is there. I do not remember springs. Do new springs come with the kit? I wouldn't think so. It is possible the PO misplaced some parts...

See here for my issues related to the 6-bolt guibos and 5-speed tranny

My shifter platform foam donut is very compressed up against the tunnel.

+1 on jgerock re donut. My recollection is that my donut is much more compressed. That said, its prob 50 years old.

Steve,

 

Yes, I know we ordered OEM guibos as this car required these compared to later models.  I will disassemble shifter this weekend and see what is in there!  If I need to order the parts 6-9 in the above drawing I will!

 

Thanks all!

Paul
