As BMWs age, and from spirited use, the shift linkage in the manual transmission will become worn. This selector rod joint is one of the main pieces in the shift linkage but is often overlooked when installing a new shifter or rebuilding the original linkage. This knuckle is the piece that connects the linkage to the internals of the transmission, therefore, it's vital in completing smooth and crisp shifts. Our selector rod kit includes the pieces to replace the transmission selector rod joint and restore its action to a new feel.

In addition to helping restore shifting feel, this piece is required in many short shift kits and selector rod upgrades. The original joint on your car may be the wrong size or shape to work with the new selector rod.

This kit includes part numbers 25117503525 - selector rod joint, 23411466134 shift linkage pin, 4 x 25111220439 washer .
