BMW Drivetrain Parts for BMW Z3 (1996-2002)

The ZF 320z S5D is a common swap choice among BMW enthusiasts due to its reliable and robust nature. Unfortunately, it does have a weakness. The detent pins and springs that live inside of the transmission are known to wear down over time, often causing the shift lever to lean towards the 5th gear position when in neutral.

This full-service kit consists of everything you need to replace the failing detents in your ZF transmission. The kit contains only Genuine ZF components, all of which are sure to provide you with smooth shifting and operation for years to come.

This kit includes the following items:

A set of "drift" tools are included for proper installation.

The Turner Axle-Back Exhaust embraces and enhances the Z3M’s capabilities, refining its sound, power, and aesthetic appeal for true enthusiasts.

With a straight-through muffler design, this exhaust optimizes exhaust flow, boosting throttle response, torque, and horsepower.

Upgrade your Z3M’s shifting with Turner’s Dual Shear Selector Rod (DSSR). The DSSR provides a more solid connection, minimizing deflection and delivering a direct, precise shift feel.
