BMW Drivetrain Parts for BMW 3 Series E30 (1984-1991)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Building your perfect BMW is more than just adding horsepower and stiff suspension. Your drivetrain needs attention in order to deliver power effectively. Most BMWs feature comfortable clutch discs, heavy flywheels, long shifter throws, and open differentials. The drivetrain transmits power to the wheels, but can also be a source of power loss when it is designed for comfort rather than performance. Everything on this page will help you improve your power delivery and driving experience by providing custom Limited Slip Differentials, Short Shift Conversions, Performance Clutch Discs, Lightweight Flywheels, and anything else your BMW needs to be the perfect driving experience.

Stock rubber flex discs allow for a slight amount of give, especially under heavy acceleration and, depending on the amount of force applied, could potentially tear or split. This slight flex/give can prevent instantaneous transfer of force to the wheels, making accelerations unpredictable, or even lead to your vehicle being stuck on the side of the track. To combat this, IRP's Performance Flex Disc was developed. Made of CNC machined aluminum, this flex disc won't actually flex, and the polyurethane bushings will only provide a enough give to dampen some vibrations and prevent damaging the transmission. This is perfect for high torque applications such a drag cars and dedicated track cars that want immediate response and long term reliability.

Upgrade your BMW's shifting experience with the Turner Motorsport Chassis Mount Short Throw Shifter—the ultimate solution for precision, control, and race-inspired performance. Designed to eliminate excessive play, reduce shift throw, and enhance driver engagement, this shifter transforms your driving experience with a solid, direct feel that brings excitement to every shift.

Why Upgrade?

BMW's factory shifter assemblies are known for their vague and imprecise feel due to excessive play, soft bushings, and long throw distances. Traditional short shifters reduce shift length but often retain the factory shift carrier, which still allows flex and movement. The Turner Motorsport Performance Chassis Mount Short Shifter takes performance to the next level by completely removing the shift carrier, eliminating all bushing flex and driveline movement for unparalleled precision.

Unlike standard setups, this shifter features an elevated base that moves the fulcrum point higher, resulting in dramatically shorter throws and crisp, accurate shifts. The tall "rally-style" shift lever enhances leverage and positions the shifter closer to the steering wheel for faster gear changes. Additionally, an adjustable centering spring lets you fine-tune self-centering force for the perfect balance of resistance and smoothness.

Features & Benefits

Ultra-Short Throw – Optimized geometry and a raised fulcrum point drastically reduce shift travel for lightning-fast gear changes. Maximum Precision – Chassis-mounted design eliminates bushing flex and floating movement for a direct, race-inspired feel. Solid Shifter Engagement – Eliminates side-to-side play and imprecise gear selection for ultimate driver confidence. Adjustable Centering Spring – Customize the self-centering force to suit your driving style and preference. Premium Materials & Finish – Constructed from 6061 aluminum, 4130 steel, and 316 stainless steel with a durable black anodized finish for strength and longevity. Universal Fitment – Compatible with multiple BMW chassis using the included base plate and hardware (see "Fits These Cars" for exact applications). Race-Inspired Engineering

Designed for enthusiasts who demand the best, the Turner Motorsport Chassis Mount Short Shifter provides an unmatched shift feel and precision. The spherical bearing pivot with a maintenance-free brass insert ensures durability and smooth operation, while the rugged CNC-machined construction withstands aggressive shifting and track abuse.

Take full control of your BMW’s shifting performance with Turner Motorsport’s ultimate short shifter upgrade—built for the road, perfect for the track.
