BMW Drivetrain Parts for BMW 8 Series E31 (1991-1997)

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.

The stock center support bearing carrier is designed to reduce NVH to the cabin by loosely holding the center bearing with a flimsy rubber bushing. During launches and shifts, the driveshaft is allowed to travel off-center, decreasing throttle response and causing oscillations through the drivetrain. As they age, the carrier rubber sags and dry rots, ruining the driveshaft alignment. Fix or prevent this common issue with JXB Performance's Driveshaft Center Support Bearing Upgrade! JXB utilizes a simple but extremely effective 2-piece design which allows you to install this upgrade and replace bushings with ease. The stock center support carrier is simply cut away, allowing the JXB bushings to "clamp" down on the driveshaft bearing and hold the driveshaft securely in place, maintaining driveshaft alignment at all times.

  5. Easy Installation:

    • These bushings are designed to fit seamlessly into the shifter assembly of various BMW models. While installation can be handled by DIY enthusiasts, professional installation is recommended for optimal alignment and performance.
  6. Wide Compatibility:

    • Suitable for a range of BMW models, these bushings are a versatile and valuable upgrade or replacement for drivers looking to restore or improve their vehicle’s shifter performance.

Benefits of Upgrading or Replacing:

  • Tighter Shifting Feel: New oval bushings restore precision to the shifter assembly, eliminating the slack that develops over time in worn bushings, providing a more connected driving experience.
  • Reduced Vibrations and Noise: Fresh bushings help dampen vibrations and reduce noise from the shifter assembly, contributing to a smoother, quieter ride.
  • Extended Shifter Life: By maintaining proper alignment and reducing stress on other components, replacing old bushings can help extend the life of the entire shifter assembly.

Max Gear is a high-performance automotive gear oil designed to provide maximum protection to heavily loaded gears while increasing power throughput through the drive train. Max Gear virtually eliminates both gear and bearing wear—even under severe squeeze film conditions caused by extremely high loads, sudden shock loads, or low RPMs. Slippery, synthetic molecules not only reduce wear and friction but significantly increase Max Gear’s cold weather fluidity and lubricity, making it the ideal choice for vehicles operating in cold climates. Gears run smoother, quieter, cooler, and longer without overhauls. It is non-corrosive to both ferrous and nonferrous metals.
