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.

Even after rebuilding your manual transmission shifter with brand new BMW components or installing a short shift kit, your shifts will still be at the mercy of soft factory bushings. Designed with 100% comfort and low manufacturing costs in mind, BMW's factory carrier bushing offers a freedom of movement on all axis, resulting in "factory installed slop".

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.

This replacement flex disc (aka: the guibo) is a vibration dampener mounted on the back of the transmission which connects to the driveshaft. When it has worn, it produces a terrible vibration throughout the car. It's especially noticeable at low speeds and when starting from a standstill. Oil leaking from the back of the transmission will significantly reduce its life. From 1974 to 2019, Bavarian Autosport was one of the premier vendors for BMW and MINI auto parts. We are happy to preserve the Bav Auto legacy by continuing to carry their high-quality products into the future. All Bav Auto parts will remain unchanged in design and sourced from the same OEM suppliers to ensure long-lasting reliability. We trust these parts, accessories, and upgrades so confidently that we back every Bavarian Autosport branded component with a 2-year warranty.

This Bav Auto replacement flex disc (aka: the guibo) is a vibration dampener mounted on the back of the transmission which connects to the driveshaft. When it has worn, it can produce knocking sounds and a terrible vibration throughout the car. It's especially noticeable at low speeds and when starting from a standstill. Oil leaking from the back of the transmission will significantly reduce its life. This can also be used as an upgrade on the E30 M3. It has much more rubber in between the bolt holes which makes it last longer. This is 5mm thicker than the stock E30 flex disc so adjustment of the 2-piece driveshaft may be required. The original flex disc bolts can be re-used.

Turner Motorsport Doorbuster Kit: Double Adjustable Short Shifter Kit & 389mm DSSR for BMW Z3

Upgrade your BMW Z3’s shifting dynamics with this Turner Motorsport Enthusiast Bundle, which includes the Double Adjustable Short Shifter Kit and 389mm Dual Shear Selector Rod (DSSR). Enjoy enhanced control, adjustable throw, and a precise, connected feel—perfect for anyone looking to take their Z3’s performance to the next level.

TURNER DOUBLE ADJUSTABLE SHORT SHIFTER KIT

BMW’s factory shifters are often known for their long throw, but Turner Motorsport has crafted a solution that redefines the experience. This Double Adjustable Short Shifter offers customizable throw reduction—up to 52%—along with height adjustability, allowing you to dial in the exact feel you want.

A standout feature is the Quick Change rally lever extension. This lets you effortlessly swap between a taller lever, ideal for spirited driving or track days, and a shorter one, for daily use.

Benefits:

Adjustable Throw: From a slight reduction to an ultra-short throw. Crisp Shifts: More precise, quicker shifts for a connected driving experience. Easy Installation: Bearing cup assembly for installation from inside the cabin. Rally Style Option: Switch easily to a taller lever for track-focused driving. Installation and Adjustability:

Height Adjustability: 22mm range for knob height fine-tuning. Throw Adjustability: Independently adjustable throw using a set screw on the shifter ball—no need to remove the shifter. Total Adjustment Range: Up to 52% throw reduction compared to the stock E36 shifter. Design Features:

Materials: CNC-machined 4140 chromoly steel, 304 stainless steel shifter ball, Nylatron® NSM bushings. Anodized Aluminum: 6061-T6 aluminum levers and bearing cup, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. Knob Compatibility: Compatible with OE BMW and most aftermarket knobs, with a Quick Change rally lever featuring a black Delrin knob. TURNER 389MM DSSR FOR Z3

Turner Motorsport’s 389mm DSSR is designed to provide a superior shifting experience over the factory selector rod. This Dual Shear Selector Rod (DSSR) is crafted for the Z3 6-cylinder models (replacing part #25111222780), offering better control and eliminating unwanted play.

The DSSR works by “sandwiching” the shifter’s connection points, stabilizing the entire mechanism and enhancing the direct feel of each shift. Pair it with Turner’s poly rear shifter bushing for an even more refined experience.

Benefits:

Enhanced Shift Feel: Reduces deflection and play, resulting in more precise shifts. Compatible with Factory and Turner Shifters: Matches the 389mm length for factory knob positioning. Corrosion Resistance: Made from 303 stainless steel for longevity and durability. Design Features:

Driver-Centered Lean: Maintains a 5-degree lean toward the driver for natural ergonomics. Laser-Etched Branding: Includes Turner Motorsport’s logo for a premium, authentic look. Why Choose the Turner Motorsport Short Shifter Kit and DSSR?

With this kit, you’re not only getting a fully adjustable short shifter to make your driving more responsive and engaging, but also a high-quality DSSR for reinforced stability. This combo is perfect for drivers who demand precision, control, and an elevated connection with their Z3’s transmission.

Revolutionize your shifting experience—Turner Motorsport has you covered with engineering, performance, and durability.
