BMW Drivetrain Parts for BMW 7 Series E32 (1988-1994)

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)
DESIGN

6061 aluminum, 4130 steel, and 316 stainless steel construction
A type-II black anodized finish
Adjustable self-centering spring
"Rally Style" shift lever
Spherical bearing pivot with maintenance-free brass insert

The URO Driveshaft Center Mount - BMW E30 is an essential component for maintaining drivetrain stability and reducing vibration. This high-quality center support mount includes a pre-installed bearing within a durable rubber housing, ensuring proper alignment and smooth rotation of the driveshaft. Over time, worn or damaged mounts can lead to excessive drivetrain movement, noise, and premature wear on other components. Replacing the center mount restores drivetrain integrity, providing a smoother and more reliable driving experience.

• Direct replacement for BMW E30 models
• Supports driveshaft alignment for reduced vibration and noise
• Includes pre-installed bearing in a durable rubber mount
• Enhances drivetrain stability and prolongs component life
• High-quality construction for long-lasting reliability
• Easy installation with OE-style fitment

Red Line CV-2 Grease

Experience unparalleled performance with Red Line CV-2 Grease, expertly crafted to endure extreme temperatures and pressures found in high-performance wheel bearings and CV-joints. This premium grease surpasses both conventional and synthetic options with its exceptional high-temperature stability, superior extreme-pressure protection, and water resistance. Operating effectively in temperatures spanning from -100°F to 500°F, it offers outstanding oxidation and corrosion resistance, minimal evaporation and oil separation, and has minimal impact on rubber seals. Expect a remarkable 200% to 800% increase in bearing life due to the exceptional extreme-pressure performance and synthetic oil fluidity. Its red moly compound outshines black moly disulfide lubricants, ensuring superior lubrication.

Red Line CV-2 Grease finds application not only in automotive settings but also in industrial environments. It excels in high-temperature alternator bearings, high-speed ball bearings, conveyor bearings, worm gear drives, servo mechanisms, and other scenarios prone to fretting wear and corrosion. Its consistency and extreme-pressure performance endure high-temperature and high-shear conditions, extending the performance life of lubricated components. Despite darkening after high-temperature use, its efficacy remains unaffected. While compatible with some petroleum-based greases, it's recommended to clean out old grease thoroughly for optimal lubrication performance and to avoid grease incompatibility.

Product features:

• Outperforms conventional or synthetic greases and lubes
• Endures extreme temperatures and pressures in various automotive components
• Excellent high-temperature stability, extreme-pressure protection, and water resistance
• Operates within temperatures ranging from -100°F to 500°F
• Resistant to oxidation and corrosion, with minimal evaporation and oil separation affecting rubber seals
• Contains organic moly for chassis lubrication and high temp/high-speed industrial equipment
• Synthetic fluidity increases bearing life up to 200%
• Darkening after high-temp use doesn't impact performance
