Description
Time to give the shifter assembly in your E36, E46 or modern BMW an upgrade. Introducing the first and only poly rear carrier bushing for your E36, E46, and other BMWs that use the 25111222015 bushing. Many people replace the front bushings on the shifter carrier with a harder bushing such as Delrin (which we also carry), however, the rear of the carrier is often neglected. Even the brand new factory rubber allows for a ton of shifter movement!
Garagistic poly carrier bushings replace the original rubber bushing. Simply remove the old one out and press these ones in! No grinding is required to the shifter rod. The shape of the hole in the bushing is an oval (not round) to fit the contour of the shifter assembly rod perfectly.
Garagistic's shifter bushing replaces the stock soft rear shifter bushing to give you firmer more crisp shifts. While this shifter bushing will not change the geometry of the shifting mechanism, it eliminates excessive play in the system. This bushing is made from Lifetime Warranty 80A polyurethane for solid construction that will last a lifetime. Replace it once, and you're done.
WHY POLY AND NOT DELRIN?
Garagistic uses a hard poly to give all the benefits of Delrin with none of the drawbacks. Poly deflects just enough so it works with solid or soft mounted transmissions. Delrin rear carrier bushings (if the transmission is not solid mounted, can break, be torn out, pulled out, etc, etc, etc). The hard poly allows the rod to slide in or out but not drag. This upgrade is a night and day difference when paired with Delrin front carrier bushings and a Z3 short shifter conversion. Lifetime warranty! Never replace it again!
NOTE - Bushing may come in red or blue color but the durometer is not affected on this part.
