How to make Gear Changing smooth?

I have a BMW 325i cabriolet (e46) 2001. The gear changing is not really bad but I would prefer it to be allot smoother. I heard you can get a short shifter however I honestly don't know if it will make it smooth or just make it short to change gears.



I heard you have to get the gearbox changed however I really disagree.

The gears feel clunky however they are fully operational.



Any comments will be appreciated and please no dumb comments saying I shouldn't be driving stick. Why not optimise my car if I have the money?How to make Gear Changing smooth?
A short shift kit will reduce the distance you have to move the gear stick when you change gear. It will not make the change any smoother.

Normally if the gears are clunky the first thing to check is the function of the clutch, if it is not fully disengaging you will have a clunk when you change gear.

A short shifter will make gear changing smoothly more difficult but it is still doable if you practice and have the right aptitude. All it does is make the distance you move the lever shorter and it is possible to fit them to a lot of cars without changing the gearbox.

Sorry to have to say this but if the clutch and gearbox are ok then its the thing sitting at the steering wheel that is not working right. Try different changing techniques and try to get the engine and road speed matched when you move to a new gear.
First, get clutch adjustment checked, next oil level and type that is in transmission, finally get in car in neutral and start it, listening for noise coming from transmission..push in clutch and hold...is it NOTICEABLY quieter...if so may need some internal work done. Hope this helps.
I think you should think of having the clutch clearance adjusted unless you have an automatic adjuster. This gives the correct clearance between the clutch plate and the engine flywheel. Failure to adjust it can lead to a worn clutch as it could be in constant contact with the flywheel iinstead of having a clearance.
A 'short shifter' wouldn't improve the quality of gearchange, and the gearbox shouldn't be clunky on a BMW.

Get a second opinion - have someone else try driving the car, and see if they have a problem; it may just be the way you're driving.
Have you tried doubling the clutch, clutch in to take it out of gear, then clutch in to engage a gear (and that is with every gear)
dont chance your shifter check the oil in the gearbox it may have the wrong oil in it
Maybe it's the clutch you should be looking at and not the gearbox.
Check the box oil...
