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

Be sure to replace your hardware with any flywheel removal service such as the rear main seal or clutch and flywheel.
BMW E36 E46 E30 Universal Flex Disc is an essential component located between the driveshaft and the transmission, designed to absorb hard vibrations and shocks during gear shifts. Over time, the rubber in the flex disc can degrade, leading to increased vibrations and clunking noises. Replacing this disc ensures your BMW drives smoothly and maintains optimal performance. Turner Motorsport offers this high-quality replacement part, manufactured by URO Parts, a leading provider of direct replacement components. URO Parts adheres to ISO 9000 certification standards, guaranteeing long-lasting durability and reliable performance.
Some modifications to your vehicle may not produce power to create gains in the overall performance of your driving. When you add a "Po' Boy" clutch stop to your BMW the performance gain is directly felt in the driving experience.
The ECS clutch stop allows the driver to fine tune the position of the clutch pedal to closely match the engagement point for precise, quicker shifting. The adjustment range found in this product can be set to the stock engagement point or can be adjusted to follow the wear of the clutch. Meaning your new experience will never change all the way to the end of the clutch life and can be reset to enjoy the next clutch.
Note: This modification might require some slight modification to the clutch switch mounting bracket, which can be bent slightly by hand.

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.
Opt for the specified synthetic fluid recommended by BMW for the hydraulic unit in your SMG transmission. As outlined in the BMW technical article from May 2008, this fluid meets the required specifications for optimal performance.
