SELECTOR ROD- Here are selector rods for purchase.  Essentially you're using a selector rod that has your stock selector rod length within its range of adjustment.  If you have a custom application just measure between each hole and choose one that has a range within the length in mm you need.  Here is a short list of selector rod lengths that will work with different applications and transmission configurations.    All recommendations based on the list from HARD motorsports.

Xtra short (125-160 mm)- Recommended for E46 m3 ( stock length is 144)
