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". Any manual transmission aficionado knows that when it comes to shifting, slop is the enemy. Causing inconsistent gear locations, embarrassing missed shifts, and an overall experience that is less than confidence inspiring. After servicing countless shifters, our team decided to step in and address this shortcoming.
Our engineers designed a bushing that was simple to install, requiring no modifications or reuse of old components, and delivers an improved shifting experience with any factory or aftermarket performance shifter. Our carrier bushing is manufactured in the USA from 70A polyurethane, mounted securely with a type III black anodized CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum bracket for exceptional corrosion resistance. The result is a complete design solution that offers much crisper shifting and a more engaging driving experience with nearly zero added gearbox noise or vibrations.
Installation is easy, once you remove the heat shield from under your car the old bushing is held in place with 2 star socket fasteners. Simply lube up the tail of the arm with any silicone based grease to position the bushing onto the shifting arm.
As part of a shifter upgrade, rebuild, or as a standalone component upgrade, our bushing assembly delivers immediate, long-lasting shifting improvements.
