BMW Bronze Clutch Fork Pivot Bush/Bushing Upgrade - Metal Release/Throwout Arm Pivot Pin for Manual Gearbox/Transmission - Clutch Pedal Squeak Fix & Smoother Engagement - Fits E36 E39 E46 E60

Bulletproof your BMW manual gearbox with a metal clutch lever pivot upgrade

Tired of clutch pedal squeaks, notchy gear changes and the risk of a brittle plastic fulcrum failing inside your bellhousing? This precision bronze clutch lever bush replaces the factory plastic insert found in the release arm on many BMW models, delivering a tighter, more consistent pedal feel and confidence-inspiring gear engagement. It is a simple, low-cost reliability upgrade that pays for itself by preventing a transmission-out job later.

Why enthusiasts choose this bronze pivot bush

• Replaces fragile OEM plastic with a robust metal insert for long-term reliability
• Reduces pedal creak and clutch fork chatter for smoother, more precise engagement
• Ideal preventative maintenance during clutch, flywheel or throw-out bearing service
• Direct-fit solution designed specifically for BMW manual gearboxes
• Track-day proven and perfect for daily use

We have fitted this upgrade in-house on a range of customer cars and the feedback is consistently excellent: cleaner take-up, a more positive bite point and a quieter pedal box. It is a must-do while the gearbox is out for a clutch change, but also a smart stand-alone fix for squeaks and vague engagement.
