Powerflex PFF5-4631 Gear Selector/Shifter Carrier Front Mount Bush (Oval) – Polyurethane Gearbox/Transmission Linkage Bushing for BMW 3 Series E46 inc Touring Estate – OE 25117507695 Replacement – Lifetime Warranty

Uprated Gear Selector Carrier Front Mount Bush - PFF5-4631 - BMW E46 3 Series inc Touring

Transform the feel of your E46 gear change with this uprated front mount bush for the gear selector carrier. Replacing the tired factory rubber (OE ref 25117507695) with a high-performance polyurethane component tightens up the linkage, cuts unwanted play and gives a more positive, precise shift action on road or track. It is a simple, high-value upgrade that makes your 3 Series feel tighter, more controlled and more confidence inspiring.

We fit this on our own builds and it is a favourite with our customers for its durability and the way it cleans up the gear change. Expect crisper engagement, improved stability under load and consistent performance that does not fade like ageing rubber.

• Sharper, more accurate gear selection by stabilising the selector carrier
• Reduces slop in the gearbox linkage for a tighter, more direct shift
• Helps maintain drivetrain alignment under acceleration, braking and cornering
• High-grade polyurethane resists oil, heat and wear far better than OE rubber
• Keeps vibration well controlled for daily driving, fast road and track day use
• Backed by a Lifetime Warranty for long-term peace of mind

Why upgrade this bushing on your E46

Factory rubber softens over time, causing vague shifts, inconsistent behaviour and accelerated wear to surrounding components. This precision-moulded poly bush holds the selector support securely, keeping the linkage geometry consistent so your tyres stay planted and the car feels composed when you are pushing on. The result is a more engaging, more predictable drive with reduced maintenance in the long run.
