BMW Drivetrain Parts for BMW Z3 (1996-2002)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Building your perfect BMW is more than just adding horsepower and stiff suspension. Your drivetrain needs attention in order to deliver power effectively. Most BMWs feature comfortable clutch discs, heavy flywheels, long shifter throws, and open differentials. The drivetrain transmits power to the wheels, but can also be a source of power loss when it is designed for comfort rather than performance. Everything on this page will help you improve your power delivery and driving experience by providing custom Limited Slip Differentials, Short Shift Conversions, Performance Clutch Discs, Lightweight Flywheels, and anything else your BMW needs to be the perfect driving experience.

The ZF S5D 320Z 5-speed transmission is known for its robust design, exceptional durability, and impressive power-handling capability. Unfortunately, as these transmissions age, shifter-related issues have become increasingly common. Problems such as difficulty selecting gears, a sticky shifter, or a decline in shift quality are often the result of worn detent springs, pins, and bushings. These components are essential for precise gear engagement and proper shifter centering, making their replacement a critical step in maintaining optimal performance.

Replacing detents requires specialized tools known as "drifts," which are notoriously hard to find. Fortunately, we've developed a complete Detent Tool Kit, featuring five precision-engineered drifts designed for exact fitment in the ZF transmission's detent bores. This toolset makes detent replacement straightforward and minimizes the risk of damage to internal transmission components.

Features

Complete Tool Kit: Includes five precision-machined drifts specifically designed for the ZF 5-speed transmission’s detent bores and caps. Hassle-Free Detent Replacement: Simplifies the process of removing and installing detents with professional-grade precision. Protects Your Investment: Reduces the risk of damaging internal transmission components during service. Durable Construction: Made from heavy-duty 1045 steel for exceptional strength and long-lasting reliability.

Ensure your clutch system can get the all of the power to the wheels. Stock clutch components lack the ability to transmit the full torque and horsepower loads to the wheels without suffering from increased wear and eventual clutch fade. Sachs Performance Clutch Kits are designed for sport and race applications, delivering higher torque transmission without succumbing to wear and tear and fading over extended periods of abuse.

Sachs Performance Clutch Kits include the following upgraded components:

  • Performance Pressure Plate - Increased clamping force and resistant to wear

  • Performance Clutch Disc - Allows for higher clamping force, higher torque transmission, and better clutch engagement at higher RPM’s

  • Performance Throwout Bearing - Designed for increased spring pressure and higher RPM function

These kits are available with two different clutch discs, Organic and Metallic. Organic clutch discs are perfect for both performance street and light-moderate track applications. Metallic are designed for specifically for full-time track use such as endurance racing, clubsport, autocross, hill climbing and 1/4 mile racing. Please be sure you are purchasing the kit that best fits your needs. Our sales staff can help with any questions or concerns you may have!
