   • The oval shape of these bushings provides a secure fit, ensuring that the shifter carrier arm stays properly aligned. This helps reduce excess play and maintains the integrity of the shifter assembly over time.

2. Enhanced Shifting Accuracy:

   • By minimizing unwanted movement and flex in the shifter mechanism, these bushings provide a more direct and controlled shifting experience, improving the feel of each gear change.

3. Durable and Long-Lasting:

   • Constructed from high-quality, durable materials, these bushings are built to withstand the stresses of everyday driving and high-performance use. They offer long-lasting reliability, even under demanding conditions.

4. Improved Driving Experience:

   • Replacing worn-out or degraded bushings can significantly enhance the overall driving experience. With new oval bushings installed, drivers will enjoy tighter, more responsive gear shifts, leading to a more engaging and enjoyable driving dynamic.

5. Easy Installation:

   • These bushings are designed to fit seamlessly into the shifter assembly of various BMW models. While installation can be handled by DIY enthusiasts, professional installation is recommended for optimal alignment and performance.

6. Wide Compatibility:

   • Suitable for a range of BMW models, these bushings are a versatile and valuable upgrade or replacement for drivers looking to restore or improve their vehicle’s shifter performance.

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.

In summary, the BMW Shifter Carrier Arm Bushings - Oval are a crucial upgrade for drivers looking to improve the performance and feel of their shifter. With enhanced durability, improved shifting precision, and a better driving experience, these bushings are a valuable investment for any BMW enthusiast.

Differential bushings are responsible for keeping the differential in solid alignment while dampening drivetrain vibration. While OE rubber bushings are fine when they are new from the factory, aged and worn out rubber bushings create a multitude of issues that can range from annoying to dangerous. As a factory bushing ages, it begins to harden and become brittle. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow for movement at the differential mounting point. At this point, the differential is free to shift under load causing a noticeable clunking noise under acceleration and deceleration and massively increasing the stress on the driveshaft and axles. Manual transmissions suffer the worst from this as it can make shifting difficult since the differential will shift when the clutch is engaged and disengaged.

By replacing these bushings with full polyurethane, the movement is eliminated since the mounting point is supported by a much stiffer material that will not harden or shrink over time. This means less stress on the driveshaft and axles and greater longevity of supporting components. 

Powerflex street bushings are ideal for street driven vehicles and those that see occasional autocross or track time. Need bushings for a dedicated track car? Powerflex Black Series bushings are the ultimate in track and race bushings. Featuring 95A durometer polyurethane, Black Series bushings are 25% stiffer than street bushings. Engineered to perform, Powerflex performance polyurethane control arm bushings offer a supreme level of control, while still providing enough comfort for the street, with advanced polyurethane that reduces NVH that often accompanies lesser bushings. Expect improved steering feel, turn in, more responsive handling and overall improved chassis composure with Powerflex performance polyurethane control arm bushings.

Poweflex is a leading manufacturer of aftermarket suspension bushings. Using state of the art design and manufacturing, all replacement bushings are engineered to out-perform and out-last the ones that came in the car. Each line of bushings is meticulously tested and then re-tested to ensure perfect fitment and enduring quality through the life of the vehicle. A full lifetime warranty backs every one of their products and demonstrates the level of confidence and commitment Powerflex has to their customers. 

• 30% shorter shifts
• Counterbalanced for great shift feel
• Stainless steel & aluminum construction
• Rubber isolated for reduced NVH
• Maintains stock shift feel with uprated stock-type bushings

The Dinan short shifter provides shorter shift throws with a crisper and more precise feel than a stock shifter. Instead of retrofitting a stock BMW lever, with all of its deficiencies, Dinan has engineered this billet aluminum shifting system. Special features engineered into this unit include a two piece fully isolated stick assembly, exclusive integrated and dampened pivot cup with self lubricating pivot ball, counter balanced to reduce effort and exclusive polymer "Iglide" T-500 lower pivot bushings that are impervious to contamination. Featuring an adjustable pivot, which allows this shifter to fit both standard and M Series applications. All of this combined with a simple straightforward installation provides a professional level shifter. Provides a 30% throw reduction in E82 128i/135i, E9X 325i/328i/330i/335i, and E60 530i/545i/550i.

For over 35 years, Dinan has been America's premier tuning company, pioneering advancements in BMW modification while retaining a focus on balanced performance that preserves the original character and driving feel that a BMW offers.

Synthetic D4 ATF is suitable for use where Dexron III, Dexron II, or Mercon fluids are recommended. ATF D4 is similar to Red Line's MTL formula and can be used in many BMW manual transmissions where MTF or MTF-LT2 is called for. The D4 ATF provides significantly improved gear protection than most OEM oils. The balanced frictional characteristics provides smooth and consistent shifts for extended drain intervals. The superior stability compared to petroleum ATFs allows high-temperature operation without varnishing valves and clutches which leads to transmission failure.

Features:

• Provides G-4 level gear protection (suitable for transmissions and transaxles, like the Corvette T-56).
• Provides smooth and consistent shifts.
• More stable than petroleum fluids; suitable for extended drain intervals.
• Does not varnish at high temperatures.
• Improved cold weather characteristics.
