Stock mounts are made from soft rubber and are sometimes filled with fluid to give a car the most comfortable ride possible. The soft rubber and fluid helps to reduce the total amount of vibration, noise, and harshness (NVH) that is transferred into the cabin. The problem with this is driveline slop. The stock mounts allow a lot of excess movement and increases the amount of time it takes to transfer power to the wheels.

In order to address this issue, performance mounts can be substituted to reduce the amount of slop and transfer power to the wheel quicker. Two options for this are polyurethane mounts and solid mounts.

Solid mounts are great for an immediate transfer of power but allow for a ton of noise and vibration to be felt and heard in the cabin of the vehicle. This is great for the track where there aren't any issues with excess harshness, but as a daily driver, this can become an annoying pain in the neck.

The best middle ground is Polyurethane. Polyurethane is much stiffer than rubber and gives you the much stiffer feel you may be looking for. This allows for the increase in responsiveness, but isn't so extreme that it transfers all of the sound and vibrations into the cabin. This makes it much more comfortable for daily use while still reinforcing your driveline.

Features:

• Aluminum and Polyurethane Construction
• 80A Durometer Rating
• New Hardware

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.

The ZF 320z S5D is a common swap choice among BMW enthusiasts due to its reliable and robust nature. Unfortunately, it does have a weakness. The detent pins and springs that live inside of the transmission are known to wear down over time, often causing the shift lever to lean towards the 5th gear position when in neutral.

This full-service kit consists of everything you need to replace the failing detents in your ZF transmission. The kit contains only Genuine ZF components, all of which are sure to provide you with smooth shifting and operation for years to come.

This kit includes the following items:

3 Shift Pin Kits - 23117525048
2 Slide Bushings - 23117533395
2 Gearbox sealing lids - 23311224825
1 Shifter detent pin - 23311224849
1 Shifter detent pin - 23317502165
2 Lock Rings - 23317531374
3 Spring Retention Plates - 23317637524
5 Detent Drift/Punch Tools - 054834LA01AKT
Remedying the ZF's detent issue is a must for any enthusiast planning to get the most out of their transmission. Proper centering is essential for quick and smooth shifting, both being desirable features in any application. This kit is easy to install with several DIY guides existing online. A set of "drift" tools are included for proper installation.

Complete your Getrag 420G six-speed manual swap with a comprehensive shifter solution engineered for precision and durability. This all-in-one kit features our double-adjustable short shifter, dual-shear selector rod, heavy-duty shifter arm, upgraded bushings, and all required installation hardware for crisp gear engagement, reduced shifter slop, and confidence-inspiring performance you'll feel with every shift!

TURNER MOTORSPORT DOUBLE ADJUSTABLE SHORT SHIFT KIT

BMWs have historically been plagued by very long throw shifters from the factory - luckily, we've developed the solution. Our short shifter system is height- and throw-adjustable, offering up to a 52% reduction in throw over stock. Double adjustability enables you to find the sweet spot that will make you excited to drive your car again. Installation of this kit is also of the easiest to tackle. Compared to the competition, a custom bearing cup allows for easy installation from inside the car (on applications that use the stock shifter arm).

Benefits:

Adjustable between a conservative short throw to ultra short throw Ultra crisp shifter feel - quicker, more precise shifts More engaging driving experience Adjustability:

Independently adjustable knob height 22mm adjustment range to fine-tune shifter throw and feel. Note: knob height also affects throw reduction to some degree Independently adjustable shifter throw Adjustable by raising and lowering the lower lever position relative to the pivot ball. Note: ball position also affects knob height by ~10mm range Combined total throw adjustment range ​32 to 52 % reduction in throw over stock E36 shifter. A throw adjustment can be done in the car without removing the shifter DSSR (109MM) - E36 420G

Like all OEM selector rods, the factory part uses single-shear attachment, allowing for deflection within the shifter linkage. The result? Vague, imprecise gear selections that detract from your overall driving experience. The dual-shear selector rod (DSSR) design spreads the torsional force of gear selections across the selector rod joint, reducing deflection for increased precision. Our DSSR is precision-machined from durable 304 stainless steel to further reduce deflection and resist corrosion.

Features:

Provides a more positive feel in the shifter by reducing play in the linkage due to minimized deflection Manufactured from 304 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance and durability Replacement for 25112228055 (European E36 M3 Evolution) HEAVY-DUTY SHIFTER ARM - E36 420G

To cater to the six-speed swap E36 community, we designed a direct replacement and upgrade for the unavailable, 420G-specific shifter arm. Precision-machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and clear anodized, this replacement carrier is durable, lightweight, and built to last. It is dimensionally identical to the OEM carrier, ensuring compatibility with the OEM shift carrier bushing, shift lever, and Turner Motorsport Double-Adjustable Short Throw Shifter Kit.

Features:

6061-T6 billet aluminum construction provides excellent durability and longevity Mil-spec clear anodized for superior corrosion resistance Dimensionally identical to its OEM counterpart, ensuring compatibility with all factory shifter components POLYURETHANE SHIFTER ARM BUSHING

This shifter bushing is designed to remove the shifter play caused by an old, failed rubber shifter bushing. Manufacturing the bushing from polyurethane instead of rubber reduces the amount of stretch caused by the moving part through the bushing. This maintains the direct crisp feel from your shifter assembly. When your OE shifter arm bushing begins to fail, you will notice slop in shifting, potentially making it easier to miss gears, and it often causes an obvious vibration and movement from the engine RPMs.

Features:

Corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel mounting sleeve with bonded 70a polyurethane Stiffer bushing results in a crisper shifter feel and a more engaging driving experience.
