This Shifter Selector Rod Joint is a common wear part on BMW manual transmission shift linkage assemblies starting in the 1995 model year. Most BMWs produced 10/1994 (October of 1994) build date use this style for their 5 speed or 6 speed manual gearbox linkage. It's a very critical joint for keeping your shifter feeling tight and not too sloppy. Replacing it is an easy way to clean up sloppy shifting. A definite MUST if you are doing any type of short shift kit.
Complete joint includes inner bushing and retaining ring. Yellow plastic washers are not used with this (unlike the previous design).
Required for installation of Rogue Shifter kit on pre-95 production M3s (pre 10/1994 build date) and generally recommended to refresh/replace on all SSKs.
