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.

AAF Racing have been building race cars for more than 8 years and have been installing all types and brands of after market shifters. Using all of that knowledge, AAF has incorporated all of this into their new innovative design. AAF's BMW Race Shifter with Adjustable Shift Shaft has a very wide array of available adjustments allowing you the ability to tune it exactly to your liking. If you want to change something about the way it works, most likely there is an adjustment for it! Adjustable Features: Throw Ratio: The knob height must remain at the same height and position for obvious ergonomic reasons. This means in order to incorporate a throw ratio adjustment WITHOUT changing the position of the knob or the pivot point, the location of the shift shaft connection must move closer or farther from the pivot point. This is done in the lower section of the shift lever. Adjustable Shift Shaft Included: Included is the AAF Adjustable Shift Shaft as they believe this allows for optimal shifting. With an adjustable shift shaft, you are able to move the shift knob forwards or backwards, as well as left or right (closer or farther from the steering wheel). You can make all these changes without affecting the spring position of 3rd and 4th gears. The shift shaft has an adjustment range from 165mm to 245mm. Knob Height: The AAF Race Shifter is capable of a total knob height change of 50mm while still having 3 different options for throw ratio. There are two knob spacers included, a 25mm and 50mm. This allows you to thread the knob down tight and lock it into place. Spring Center: Coupled with the AAF Adjustable Shift Shaft, the position of where your AAF Shifter springs to center is totally adjustable. There are two screws per center locator that can be used when setting your center position, then the upper cap will be locked down to ensure your center preference position never moves out of adjustment. Spring Pressure: One of the most unique features of the AAF Race Shifter is the centering spring mechanism. Unlike most shifters that use a typical steel spring, the AAF Race Shifter uses a polyurethane spring. This polyurethane spring absorbs shock and vibration load that a typical steel spring would magnify and resonate. This gives the AAF Race Shifter a connected feel to the transmission that is unmatched. It features two polyurethane springs. This allows the adjustment of the centering location of each spring independently which gets rid of any slack but also allows for preloading of the spring. AAF also offers multiple different spring rates of polyurethane which are preloaded in house. Mounting and Installation: AAF's Race Shifter is centered directly over the factory shifter hole. This allows it to be to be installed in many BMW applications. E30 Applications: Race: bolts in on the sides of the transmission tunnel to eliminate any flex in the sheet metal Street: precision water-jet cut flat plate that reinforces the chassis from directly beneath the shifter All other information and installation details available on AAF's website!

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.

This is the factory clutch release fork for many BMW models with manual transmissions. The throw out bearing rides on the clutch release fork. While replacing other clutch components it may be a good idea to replace the fork along with the throw out bearing.
