Adjustable gear linkage 205-280 mm BMW SWAP E30 E36 E46 E92 E90 E82 gearbox

The adjustable gear linkage 205 to 280 mm is an aluminium shift rod for BMW that connects the shifter to the gearbox. You set the length between 205 and 280 mm, so shifting feels tight and precise again. It is especially useful with an engine or gearbox swap, where the original rod no longer fits.

This is the longest of three aluminium versions. If your measurement is between 205 and 280 mm, the adjustable gear linkage 205 to 280 mm is the right choice. For shorter distances, there are versions from 125 to 160 mm and from 160 to 220 mm.

Installation and delivery

The adjustable gear linkage 205 to 280 mm takes the place of the original connection between the shifter and the gearbox. First measure the distance between the two connection points to choose the right length. Set the rod to it and lock the adjustment securely. If the rod is longer than needed, you can shorten it to size.

After adjusting, check that you can fully engage all gears and reverse, and check the fixings again after the first few drives.

All parts for your gearbox swap are in our gearbox swap parts category. If your distance is shorter, take a look at the aluminium shift rod from 160 to 220 mm.

Light, tight and exactly to size: that is how a shift rod in a swap car should be.

Why choose this adjustable gear linkage 205 to 280 mm?

After a swap, the gearbox often sits in a slightly different place, so the original shift rod no longer fits. You set this adjustable gear linkage 205 to 280 mm precisely to the new situation. It is fully CNC-made, weighs only 0.35 kg and, together with a short shifter, gives a direct and tight shift feel.
