We have always loved BMWs, but one of their shortcomings has always been shifter throw and feel. Even driving your BMW home from the dealership, you might realize that the shifter throw leaves something to be desired when you find your right hand in your backseat when shifting into fourth gear. Things only go downhill from here, as these cars increase in age and mileage shifts feel less and less precise. Here at Turner, we CAD design everything in house and source the best materials to give you a truly amazing product and enhance the driving experience in your ultimate driving machine. After extensive testing and development, we are proud to present you with our Turner Motorsport short shifter. We wanted to develop something that could fit any BMW owner’s preferences - our engineering team decided this could be designed a height and throw adjustable short shifter that also features a “Quick Change” rally lever extension that allows you to easily swap back and forth between OE height shifter and the longer, rally lever you see in the product photos. Why the rally lever extension? Having the added height allows you to keep both hands closer to the wheel through shifts - this is especially helpful on the track, but we like it in our daily drivers too.

Turner Motorsport BMW Shifter Revitalization Kit

Restore your BMW's shifter to its former precision with Turner Motorsport's top-notch replacement kit. Over time, most BMW shifters lose their original feel due to inferior rubber bushings. These bushings introduce excessive movement in the shift lever, resulting in a shifter that lacks precision.

Introducing Turner Motorsport's solution - a direct-fit, high-strength Teflon bushing. Meticulously crafted from pure Teflon rod, free from any impurities or fillers, these bushings promise extended durability. By eliminating side-to-side play in the shifter rod, they notably enhance the performance of even the stock shifter.

Kit Includes:

  • 4 Teflon Bushing Inserts
  • 2 Carrier Pins

Elevate your BMW's shifting experience with Turner Motorsport's precision-designed replacement kit.

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.
