Benefits of Upgrading or Replacing:

  • Tighter Shifting Feel: New oval bushings restore precision to the shifter assembly, eliminating the slack that develops over time in worn bushings, providing a more connected driving experience.
  • Reduced Vibrations and Noise: Fresh bushings help dampen vibrations and reduce noise from the shifter assembly, contributing to a smoother, quieter ride.
  • Extended Shifter Life: By maintaining proper alignment and reducing stress on other components, replacing old bushings can help extend the life of the entire shifter assembly.

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 Delrin bushings have almost no deflection and 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.

New carrier bushing pins are included.
