Description

Adjustable gear linkage 125-160 mm BMW SWAP E30 E36 E46 E92 E90 E82

The adjustable gear linkage 125 to 160 mm is the shortest aluminium shift rod in our series for BMW. It connects the shifter to the gearbox and its length can be set from 125 to 160 mm. Ideal when the distance between the shifter and the gearbox is short after a swap and you still want tight, precise shifting.

This short version comes in especially handy in compact set-ups with little room between the shifter and the gearbox. For greater distances, there are the 160 to 220 mm and 205 to 280 mm versions.

Installation and delivery

You fit the adjustable gear linkage 125 to 160 mm between the shifter and the connection on the gearbox, in place of the original connection. Measure the distance accurately, set the rod and lock the adjustment securely. Where necessary, shorten the rod to size.

Then test that all gears and reverse engage fully. After the first few kilometres, check that all bolts are still tight.

In our gearbox swap parts category you will find more parts for your swap. If the distance is greater than 160 mm, take a look at the aluminium shift rod from 160 to 220 mm.

Little room between the shifter and the gearbox? Then short and adjustable is exactly what you need.
