BMW Drivetrain Parts

Upgrade the shifting precision and feel of your BMW with Turner Motorsport Powerflex Shifter Carrier Street Bushings - Oval. Made of 90A urethane, these bushings replace the stock rubber ones to prevent sloppy shifting. The stiff urethane reduces play without adding vibration. Easy to install when the carrier is out of the car, these bushings ensure improved performance. Here are the key benefits:

• Made of 90A urethane for durability and stiffness
• Easy installation when carrier is removed

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.
