Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Where we feel the most connected to our BMW is the shifter. A precise, snappy, sharp shift gives you the tactile and rewarding feel unlike any other. If your shifter is more slop than shift, it is time to replace or upgrade your shift bushings. Choose between our upgraded carriers bushings and shifter bushings to give your driving experience a serious upgrade, or bring back the factory precision with repair kits.

Shifter slop is a common complaint among all BMW models. Some of that play comes from the bushings where the shifter carrier mounts to the transmission. The original rubber carrier bushings don't last very long and when they get too soft the shifter flops around. These Teflon bushings are not as stiff as Delrin so they won't transmit as much vibration and buzz in the shifter. Yet Teflon will last much longer than the factory rubber, giving you precise shifting for many years.

Note: this is only one part of the shift linkage and there may be other components that need replacing to improve shifting feel.

We advise getting a replacement bushing carrier pin as well. If the original rubber bushings are worn the pin will have wear too and you will still have slop in the shifter, even with the new bushings.

These are the ROUND shifter carrier bushings (some BMW models have oval bushings).

6/1986-1992 E30 BMW 318i 318is 325e 325es 325i 325is 325ic M3

Most BMW shifters lose their like-new feeling after a few years. The culprit is the rubber bushing that BMW installs in the shifter arm location. Each time you move the shift lever, the shift rod moves which creates slop in your shifter. ECS Tuning has developed a direct fit, high-strength Teflon bushing as a replacement. Made from virgin Teflon rod, these bushings contain no fillers or impurities, resulting in a longer-lasting replacement piece. These bushings will remove all of the side-to-side slop from the shifter rod, improving even the stock shifter. Kit featuring the following components, 2 Teflon Bushing Inserts
