Short Shift Kits

The factory shifter on manual transmission-equipped BMW G80 M3, G82/G83 M4, and G87 M2 has often been criticized for its long throws, imprecision, and "rubbery" gear selection feeling. While aftermarket shifters are designed to address these issues, many fall short due to limited adjustability and modularity. Our engineers have developed the Double-Adjustable Short Shifter Kit, delivering a precise, customizable, and modular system, perfect for both track and daily-driven cars!

Designed with enthusiasts in mind, this kit offers unparalleled adjustment for both throw length and shifter height, allowing the user to tailor their setup for spirited track sessions or an engaged daily commute. Whether you want to retain the factory shift knob or opt for a rally-style lever for enhanced leverage, our exclusive solution provides ultimate flexibility.

Turner Motorsport's design changes the fulcrum point of the shifter, enabling quicker and more precise shifts. The CNC-machined lower shifter assembly is made from 4140 Chromoly steel with a Melonite coating for exceptional durability. The 6061-T6 aluminum bearing cup features precision machining and Type II anodization, ensuring corrosion resistance and a premium finish. Nylatron® bushings and an encapsulated bearing further enhance durability, reducing wear over time.

Key Features and Benefits

Adjustable throw length reduces shift distances by up to 44%, improving shift times and acceleration. Independently modify shifter height by up to 10mm for optimal ergonomics and driving comfort. Solid, "notchy" gear engagement for a race-inspired feel. Make changes to height or throw length from inside the cabin—no need to remove the shifter assembly. Crafted from premium materials like 4140 Chromoly steel, 6061-T6 aluminum, and Nylatron® NSM for maximum strength and longevity. Options for Every Driver

Standard Lever: Compatible with OEM BMW shift knobs for a factory-inspired feel. Rally Lever (Optional): Provides increased leverage and positions the shifter closer to the steering wheel for faster gear changes, ideal for track use. What’s Included

Whether you're carving corners or cruising on your commute, this kit transforms your BMW’s shifter feel and precision, delivering an unparalleled level of engagement.

We have always loved BMWs, but one of their shortcomings has always been shifter throw and feel. Even driving your new BMW ///M 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. Our short shifter offers 32 to 40% reduction in throw over stock. Note that this short shifter differs from our typical Turner short shifter in that it is solely height adjustable, not throw.

Note that we did notice some resonance when testing on vehicles with factory base model shift knobs (25117596084 or 25117596086, etc). We recommend running ZHP, M, or M Performance to both avoid this and give your shifts the best feel.

A full overhaul of your shift setup. Short shift upgrade featuring an exclusive N54 DSSR, poly carrier bushing and associated components to transform your driving experience.

The double-adjustable short shifter kit features both shift lever height and throw adjustment to dial in the exact shifter feel you are looking for. Paired with the N54 DSSR this kit features upgraded replacements for your entire shift assembly with a whole new shift carrier, bushings, lever, and selector rod. Did we mention this will work with any factory-style press on shift knob?

If you're aiming to install a short throw shifter setup or completely rejuvenate your shifting assembly, this comprehensive kit is your perfect solution. It leaves no aspect untouched, upgrading all components simultaneously, eliminating the need for troubleshooting later to address any play in your shifter. We've all experienced the frustration of piecemealing upgrades, only to find ourselves cobbling together the rest of the kit in a longer, more tedious process. With this kit, you can get it right the first time and avoid any disappointment.

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 25% throw reduction in E36s, E39s and E46s and a 20% throw reduction in M3 and M5 applications.

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. When you install a Dinan part on your car, know that it's not only carefully developed and tested, but that Dinan stands behind it with a four year, 50,000-mile warranty.

One of the most satisfying upgrades you can make to your BMW is to its factory shifter mechanism. By reducing the shifter's throw, you can give your manual transmission BMW a sportier, more precise feel. However, with so many different "short shift kits" out there, how can you be sure you're making the right decision? With the introduction of the Rogue Engineering OCTANE short shift kit, the choice is now crystal clear!

Rogue Engineering refuses to compromise with "lever substitution" as a method of short shift kit development. Rather than using actual test vehicles for their products, some companies actually dig through OEM factory parts diagrams to determine which factory levers can be substituted with others. This "lever substitution" method of introducing product is unacceptable. These shift kits have been developed and perfected through years of experience in proven short shifter technology, by Co-Founder, Ben Liaw. As longtime BMW enthusiasts know, Ben was single-handedly responsible for introducing and developing the idea of affordable, BMW factory-like, short shift kits for late model BMWs (BL/SS for those young enough to remember!). 

Rogue Engineering idea of a short shift kit is not substituting levers in place of factory ones just because "they fit". Throughout the 80s until recently, BMW was notorious for using only a few specific shifter levers for their manual transmission vehicles. For other companies, making just a few "replacement levers" and offering them in place of those factory part numbers was an easy way of calling it a short shift kit. Unfortunately, for those companies, BMW started using many different part numbers making it more difficult to just "swap in a lever".

Rogue Engineering only develops it's short shift kit with test vehicles in their facility, testing numerous prototypes, offering others to test it before settling on its final design. They feel that this old school, real world testing is the best way when modifying OEM ergonomic, sensory-based controls.
