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".

We have always loved BMWs, but one of their shortcomings has always been shifter throw and feel. Even driving your BMW 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. Here at Turner, we CAD design everything in house and source the best materials to give you a truly amazing product and enhance the driving experience in your ultimate driving machine. After extensive testing and development, we are proud to present you with our Turner Motorsport short shifter. We wanted to develop something that could fit any BMW owner’s preferences - our engineering team decided this could be designed a height and throw adjustable short shifter that also features a “Quick Change” rally lever extension that allows you to easily swap back and forth between OE height shifter and the longer, rally lever you see in the product photos. Why the rally lever extension? Having the added height allows you to keep both hands closer to the wheel through shifts - this is especially helpful on the track, but we like it in our daily drivers too.

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)
Laser-etched Turner logo
Product development:

Our shifter components are 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.

This bushing is the point where the shifter arm pivots. If you are experiencing excess play in your shifter, this could be the cause. Worn out shifter ball bushings allow too much movement from wear over time.

The shift lever out of the Z3 M Roadster and M Coupe is a direct replacement for the factory part. Some people use the shift lever on other models and it can reduce the shift throw by as much as 30%. The only downside to installing this on other 3 series models is that the shift is not bent like the stock 3 series part and will not be properly centered unless modified.

This item fits the following BMWs:
1998-2002 Z3 BMW M Roadster M Coupe

Shifter slop is a common complaint among all BMW models. Some of that play comes from the bushings where the shifter carrier mounts to the transmission. The original rubber carrier bushings don't last very long and when they get too soft the shifter flops around. These Teflon bushings are not as stiff as Delrin so they won't transmit as much vibration and buzz in the shifter. Yet Teflon will last much longer than the factory rubber, giving you precise shifting for many years.

Note: this is only one part of the shift linkage and there may be other components that need replacing to improve shifting feel.

We advise getting a replacement bushing carrier pin as well. If the original rubber bushings are worn the pin will have wear too and you will still have slop in the shifter, even with the new bushings.

These are the OVAL shifter carrier bushings (some BMW models have round bushings).

This item fits the following BMWs:
1992-1998 E36 BMW 328i 328is 328ic M3

Most BMW shifters lose their like-new feeling after a few years. The culprit is the rubber bushing that BMW installs in the shifter arm location. Each time you move the shift lever, the shift rod moves which creates slop in your shifter. ECS Tuning has developed a direct fit, high-strength Teflon bushing as a replacement. Made from virgin Teflon rod, these bushings contain no fillers or impurities, resulting in a longer-lasting replacement piece. These bushings will remove all of the side-to-side slop from the shifter rod, improving even the stock shifter. Kit featuring the following components, 2 Teflon Bushing Inserts
