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.

Oftentimes, the first thing you will notice about your manual BMW is that the stock shifter throws are miles and miles long. We developed our short shifter kit as a solve for this common complaint about manual transmission BMWs. Our new short shifter kits are the culmination of years of research and development - we went back to the drawing board several times throughout the design process, in efforts to release a product that really stood out from the rest of the short shifters on the BMW market. We set out to design the perfect shift kit for your BMW. Now we realize perfect is a subjective term, so we gave our short shifter a wide range of height and throw adjustability. This wide range of adjustability allows you to easily make adjustments from the cabin of your BMW by just removing your shifter boot and using small hex head keys.

We made our short shifter for all of you. The weekend warriors, the trackday monsters, and even the daily drivers. We wanted to make something that made sense for any BMW enthusiast. For those who want to drive your car to the track, drive some hotlaps, and then drive back home, we developed a rally lever extension. Our rally lever extension allows you to keep your hands close to the steering wheel through shifts, in efforts to quicken shifts and reaction times on the track. The rally lever comes off and on in seconds with the unique locking design we engineered. After your track day win, you can easily swap back to the short lever for more comfortable daily driving.

Installation of this kit is one of the easiest to take on compared to the competition - our custom bearing cup allows for easy installation from inside of the car (on applications that use the stock shifter arm).

Turner Motorsport Chassis Mount Short Throw Shifter

Upgrade your BMW's shifting experience with the Turner Motorsport Chassis Mount Short Throw Shifter—the ultimate solution for precision, control, and race-inspired performance. Designed to eliminate excessive play, reduce shift throw, and enhance driver engagement, this shifter transforms your driving experience with a solid, direct feel that brings excitement to every shift.

Why Upgrade?

BMW's factory shifter assemblies are known for their vague and imprecise feel due to excessive play, soft bushings, and long throw distances. Traditional short shifters reduce shift length but often retain the factory shift carrier, which still allows flex and movement. The Turner Motorsport Performance Chassis Mount Short Shifter takes performance to the next level by completely removing the shift carrier, eliminating all bushing flex and driveline movement for unparalleled precision.

Unlike standard setups, this shifter features an elevated base that moves the fulcrum point higher, resulting in dramatically shorter throws and crisp, accurate shifts. The tall "rally-style" shift lever enhances leverage and positions the shifter closer to the steering wheel for faster gear changes. Additionally, an adjustable centering spring lets you fine-tune self-centering force for the perfect balance of resistance and smoothness.

Features & Benefits

Ultra-Short Throw – Optimized geometry and a raised fulcrum point drastically reduce shift travel for lightning-fast gear changes. Maximum Precision – Chassis-mounted design eliminates bushing flex and floating movement for a direct, race-inspired feel. Solid Shifter Engagement – Eliminates side-to-side play and imprecise gear selection for ultimate driver confidence. Adjustable Centering Spring – Customize the self-centering force to suit your driving style and preference. Premium Materials & Finish – Constructed from 6061 aluminum, 4130 steel, and 316 stainless steel with a durable black anodized finish for strength and longevity. Universal Fitment – Compatible with multiple BMW chassis using the included base plate and hardware (see "Fits These Cars" for exact applications). Race-Inspired Engineering

Designed for enthusiasts who demand the best, the Turner Motorsport Chassis Mount Short Shifter provides unmatched shift feel and precision. The spherical bearing pivot with a maintenance-free brass insert ensures durability and smooth operation, while the rugged CNC-machined construction withstands aggressive shifting and track abuse.
