BMW Drivetrain Parts for BMW Z3 (1996-2002)

If you've ever bled the clutch hydraulic system on your BMW, you know how frustrating it can be. Designed with both DIY enthusiasts and professional technicians in mind, our clever tool simplifies one of the most notoriously annoying steps in clutch service.

Crafted from high-quality aluminum and finished in a durable black anodized coating, our clutch slave cylinder bleeder tool is built to last. Its function is simple: the adjustable piston rod applies controlled pressure directly to the clutch slave cylinder’s piston, compressing it and reducing its internal volume. By minimizing the amount of air trapped inside the cylinder, bleeding becomes faster, cleaner, and far more effective—no more endless pedal pumping or inconsistent clutch feel. The result is firm, consistent clutch pedal engagement and a smoother overall driving experience, all achieved with less time and effort underneath the car.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Simplifies bleeding the BMW clutch hydraulic system by reducing trapped air in the slave cylinder Eliminates excessive pedal pumping and inconsistent clutch feel Helps achieve firm, consistent clutch pedal engagement Crafted from high-quality aluminum for strength and longevity Durable black anodized finish resists wear and corrosion Designed for both DIY enthusiasts and professional technicians PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Our Clutch Slave Cylinder Bleeder Tool was designed, engineered, tested, and quality inspected by our Research and Development team at Turner. Nothing but the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology, including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long-term product testing.

Adapt an N54 or N55 GS6-53BZ transmission to your M5x/S5x engine to unlock superior torque capacity and optimized gear ratios.

Engineered for the BMW enthusiast who demands more strength and better gear ratios, the Turner Motorsport Transmission Swap Flywheel Kit provides a direct solution for mating a modern N54 or N55 6-speed gearbox to your M20, M5X, or S5X engine. This kit bridges the gap between generations, allowing you to run a high-capacity GS6-53BZ transmission without the typical fabrication nightmares.

The technical core of this kit is our dual-geometry flywheel. By utilizing this specialized design, you can retain your engine-side stock starter while using the factory clutch and throw-out bearing from your donor transmission. This ensures a precise fit and a firm, factory-like shifting feel that can handle significantly more power than older 5-speed setups. To guarantee a fitment, we’ve included a precision drill guide for bellhousing alignment and a universal pilot bearing pin to simplify the installation process.

Features and benefits:

Compatible with the starter from your original motor.
Uses factory clutch and throwout bearing from the donor transmission (GS6-53BZ).
Comes with necessary tools and a provided drill guide to adapt the top transmission mounting holes.

New for your 6-cylinder Z3 is our Dual Shear Selector Rod (DSSR) to deliver a more controlled and tighter shifting experience over the factory selector rod. Pair our Z3 DSSR with our upgraded poly rear shifter bushing for the full upgraded shifting experience. This DSSR is designed for Z3 models that have the selector rod p# 25111222780.

Upgrade from your single connection selector rod to a dual shear selector rod or DSSR for a stronger connection and an overall better shifting experience. The factory BMW selector rod is made of hollow aluminum tubing and attaches to both the shifter and transmission from one side utilizing a pin-and-clip design. The factory single-side attachment only has a small amount of surface area contacting both the shifter and transmission selector which relies directly on the connecting pin to do all of the shifting and control, this can cause a loose and/or lackluster experience when shifting gears or shaking your shifter in neutral. Your new Turner DSSR features a much larger contacting surface to both the shifter and transmission, not only does the upgraded DSSR have larger faces contacting your shift components but it also features double the amount of mounting surfaces. This dual shear selector rod hugs your shift lever and selector tight from both sides and eliminates deflection and sloppiness for the best shifting experience possible.

Features and benefits:

Provides an increased shift feel by reducing deflection and play in the linkage.
Works with factory and aftermarket Turner shifters
Maintains stock 389mm length for stock shift knob location
Precision machined pins for perfect fit
Manufactured from 303 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance
Design:

Designed to maintain 5 degrees of lean for the shift lever toward the driver
Replacement for 25111222780 (E36/7 6-cylinder cars)

ECS Performance Clutch and Flywheel Kit – Built for Precision and Power

Step up your BMW’s driving experience with the ECS Performance Clutch and Flywheel Kit, engineered for drivers who demand improved throttle response, stronger engagement, and seamless power delivery. Featuring a modified E34 M5 clutch setup paired with an expertly crafted single-mass flywheel, this kit is designed to enhance both the feel and performance of M5x and S5x engines with 5-speed transmissions.

The single-mass flywheel replaces the bulky, factory dual-mass version, significantly reducing rotational weight for quicker throttle response and sharper acceleration. This kit retains the robustness of the M5 clutch but ups the ante with a reinforced pressure plate and clutch disc, giving you not only increased power handling but also a highly responsive pedal feel for precision control.

Perfect for both clutch replacements and power upgrades, the ECS Performance Clutch and Flywheel Kit transforms your driving experience without sacrificing pedal feel or adding unwanted stiffness. Say goodbye to spongy or overly rigid aftermarket options—this setup strikes the balance that enthusiasts crave, giving you both reliability and satisfaction behind the wheel.

Polyurethane Transmission Mount Set - Street Performance

Your transmission mounts are the backbone of your drivetrain. Stock rubber mounts often degrade quickly, leading to excess movement, mis-shifts, and, in some cases, even chassis damage. ECS Tuning’s Street Performance Polyurethane Transmission Mount Set offers an upgraded solution built for street and track performance alike.

Constructed from high-quality polyurethane and 304 stainless steel, these mounts are crafted to withstand the demands of high-torque and forced-induction setups, minimizing deflection and giving you more direct power delivery. With a 70A durometer rating, these mounts offer the best of both worlds—stiff enough to handle aggressive driving but still comfortable for daily commutes. For track-focused builds, we also offer a stiffer 80A version (sold separately).

Key Features:

Improved Stability: Reduced transmission movement for fewer mis-shifts and over-revs Polyurethane Construction: Stronger than rubber, with excellent oil and water resistance Engaging Driving Experience: A more connected feel without excessive vibration Dual Options: Choose Street (70A) or Race (80A) to match your driving style Durable Design: Mechanical interlock feature for high-stress applications Pair your new clutch and flywheel kit with these premium mounts for an unparalleled driving experience. Plus, our DIY guide makes installation easy—ECS Tuning has you covered from start to finish!
