The ULTIMATE shifter upgrade for your BMW! Experience more precise throws, less shift lever travel, and an all-around transformation in your shifting experience.
For dozens of years, enthusiasts have critiqued the imprecise and vague feeling of BMW manual transmissions. Plagued with long throws, fore and aft play in gear, and a generally loose feeling, your OEM BMW shifter leaves much to be desired. While most standard carrier-mount short throw shifter kits will aid in reducing throw length and eliminating side-to-side play in gear, some enthusiasts long for a hardcore, race-inspired shifter that completely removes play and excessive throw length. At Turner Motorsport we share the same desire and set out to offer the ULTIMATE upgrade with this Performance Chassis Mount Short Shifter.
WHY UPGRADE?
Factory BMW shifter assemblies are complex by nature. The main component of this assembly is the shift carrier, a cast aluminum piece positioned inside the transmission tunnel that incorporates bushings at both ends for mounting. Like most factory parts, these bushings are designed to reduce NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) transmission to the cabin. To the spirited driver, however, these bushings translate to flex and vagueness in the shift lever. Moreover, because this carrier is mounted to both the transmission and the body, the entire shifter assembly will "float" with the driveline, further increasing the vague and imprecise feeling of your shifter.
Our Performance Chassis Mount Short Shifter removes the shift carrier assembly entirely—removing any prospect of flex caused by bushings or driveline movement. By contrast, this chassis mount shifter offers a drastic reduction in shift lever travel, vagueness, and side-to-side play. An elevated base allows for moving the fulcrum point upwards, resulting in a much shorter and more precise throw. Shift times are further reduced by a tall, "rally style" shift lever, used to aid in leverage while also bringing the lever closer to the steering wheel. Our design incorporates a proprietary centering spring design, which is adjustable for increasing or decreasing self-centering force. In short, this design eliminates all the drawbacks of your factory BMW shifter, translating to more control, greater precision, shorter throws, and faster shift times.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Reduced Throw: Modified shifter geometry and heightened fulcrum point translate to a shorter shift lever throw
Improved Shifter Feel: Eliminating the shift carrier and associated bushings drastically reduces "slop" and side-to-side play in the shift lever
Increased Precision: Mounting the shifter to the chassis allows for little to no variation in gear selection
Universal Fitment: Fits many BMW chassis with the provided base plate and hardware (see "Fits These Cars" for exact fitment information)

Differential Fluid Extraction Adapter is an essential tool for efficiently draining and refilling differential fluid, ensuring your vehicle's differential system remains in optimal condition. Designed to work with most extraction pumps, this adapter simplifies maintenance tasks, making it easier to service your differential without the mess or hassle of traditional methods.
This Differential Fluid Extraction Adapter is a must-have for any vehicle owner looking to maintain the longevity and performance of their differential system.
Ensure the longevity of your BMW's drivetrain with ECS Tuning's Magnetic Plugs. These plugs are meticulously engineered in-house to provide a perfect fit and feature a permanent magnet attached to the plug body. The magnet effectively attracts and captures tiny abrasive and ferrous metal particles, preventing their circulation through lubrication systems. Metal particles can accumulate due to various conditions such as normal wear, machining operations, casting flaws, and stress usage, leading to excessive wear of vital components. ECS Tuning's Magnetic Plugs help alleviate this concern by trapping these particles, thus safeguarding the internal components of your drivetrain. With a convenient 17mm hex head design, these plugs eliminate the need for special tools required for OEM plugs.

The ECS Billet Master Cylinder Fitting is the ultimate solution for a notorious failure point in BMW E30 clutch systems. This critical fitting, located at the end of the master cylinder reservoir hose, is responsible for delivering hydraulic fluid to the clutch master cylinder inlet. Unfortunately, the OEM plastic fitting is prone to degradation after prolonged exposure to brake fluid, often leading to total hydraulic pressure loss and brake fluid leaks inside your vehicle.
ECS has addressed this issue by engineering a robust and long-lasting alternative. Crafted from 6061 billet aluminum and finished with black hard-coat anodizing for superior corrosion resistance, this precision-machined fitting replaces the fragile plastic original, ensuring leak-free performance for the lifetime of your vehicle. Upgrade to our Billet Master Cylinder Fitting during your next clutch master cylinder service and enjoy peace of mind knowing your BMW is equipped with a durable, high-quality solution.
Features & Benefits:
Made from 6061 billet aluminum for a permanent, reliable upgrade over the factory plastic fitting. Black hard-coat anodized finish ensures long-lasting protection against the elements. Precision-machined barbs match OEM dimensions for a leak-free seal with Genuine and aftermarket master cylinders. Designed for a secure fit within the factory grommet location. Prevents brake fluid leaks and loss of clutch hydraulic pressure caused by plastic fitting failure. Upgrade your BMW and bulletproof your master cylinder with the ECS Billet Aluminum Master Cylinder Fitting. Ensure clutch hydraulic system reliability and enjoy peace of mind knowing your failure-prone plastic master cylinder fitting has been addressed.

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.
