BMW Transmission 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:

3 Detent Covers - 07119937227 3 Shift Pin Kits - 23117525048 2 Shift Pin Bushing Kits - 23117542726 1 Detent Pin - 23311224849 1 Detent Pin - 23317502165 Remedying the ZF's detent issue is a must for any enthusiast planning to get the most out of their transmission. Proper centering is essential for quick and smooth shifting, both being desirable features in any application. This kit is easy to install with several DIY guides existing online. A set of "drift" tools are required for proper installation.

This is the OE shifter for the E46 325xi and the 330xi (up to 03/2003) and the E36 Z3 1.9 and 2.5.

The shift lever out of the Z3 1.9 delivers a smooth and quiet shift without the notchiness and effort of aftermarket short shift kits. The Z3 shifter in the E30 is approximately 20% shorter than the original E30 shifter - less reduction than a full short shift kit but the perfect compromise between stock and aftermarket. We have installed multiple shift levers in the E30 but the Z3 1.9 feels the best to us. The shift knob height is reduced by about 1/4". This is the Genuine BMW Z3 1.9 shift lever and a direct fit to 6/86-1992 E30 318i/is, 325e/es, and 325i/is.

E30 install note: there is a bowl-shaped vibration damper mounted with the transmission flex disc (guibo). This damper needs to be removed or you need to bend the stock selector rod so it will clear. Most E30s already have the vibration damper removed so don't be surprised if it's not there. If you do choose to remove it, this would be the perfect time to replace the flex disc. On some 325e models the flex disc is a larger diameter and the selector rod will need to be bent to clear it.

This item fits the following BMWs:
1990-1992 E30 BMW 318i 318is 318ic
6/1986-1992 E30 BMW 325e 325es 325i 325ic 325is

Automatic transmissions are reliable, shift smoothly, and can last without issue so long as they are properly maintained. Over time, the transmission fluid becomes thick and the filter becomes contaminated with small metal particles. This can cause excess wear, high transmission operating temperatures, and eventual failure. To prevent this we recommend changing your filter, fluid, and seals to ensure your transmission continues to operate flawlessly. We recommend filter and fluid changes every 50,000 miles. This kit includes Redline D4 ATF, the transmission filter, gasket and bolts. This filter fits A4S 270R/310R automatic transmissions on BMW E36 318i 318is 318ic 318it 323is 323ic 325i 325is 325ic 328i 328is 328ic. E34 525i M50. E39 528i Z3 2.3 2.8.
