BMW Manual Gear Selector Bush Kit PTFE (Teflon) – ECS Tuning Shifter Linkage/Carrier Bushings & Selector Rod Insert – E36 E46 E34 525i 530i M3 323i 328i 330i Z3 Z3M Z4

Tighten your BMW gear change with a premium PTFE selector bushing upgrade

Restore a precise, notchy, confidence inspiring shift feel and get rid of that vague, sloppy lever movement caused by tired factory rubber. This direct replacement kit from ECS Tuning uses virgin PTFE bushings to remove excess play in the gear selector linkage, delivering sharper gear engagement and a cleaner throw on every shift. Perfect for road, track day and spirited driving where accurate gear selection matters.

Why this upgrade is a game changer

• Eliminates lateral movement in the selector rod for a tighter, more accurate gear change
• Manufactured from virgin PTFE – no fillers, no impurities – for exceptional wear resistance and low friction
• Direct fit replacement for the OEM shifter arm insert – no modifications required
• Ideal refresh when chasing gear lever slop, missed gears or rubber bushing deterioration
• Complements short shift levers and gearbox linkage overhauls

What you get

• 2 x PTFE bushing inserts
• 1 x new carrier pin for a smooth running surface once the original has worn

We use this upgrade on our own builds and it is a favourite with our customers for tightening the manual transmission feel without adding harshness. Expect crisp engagement, reduced shifter play and a more connected driving experience.
