If you're performing the fix for the “5th gear lean” on your BMW with the ZF 320z 5 speed manual transmission, you'll be replacing the factory detents and hardware. This tool set from our friends at Race German makes the job faster and simpler.
While you don't need it to do the job, having professional tools like this makes for less headaches and less time fiddling. Using screw drivers and other improvised tools can often lead to scoring or damaging important bearing or sealing surfaces. And if you think you'll be doing this job multiple times, as in a specially BMW shop or racing environment, having these tools handy goes a long way.
The ZF 320z transmission was used on many BMW models between 1995 and about 2003. This includes models like the E36 M3 (3.0 and 3.2 liter US, 1995-1999), E36 328i/328is/328ic (1996-1999), E46 328i/328Ci (1999-2000), E46 330i/330Ci/330xi (2001-2003), Z3 2.8, Z3 3.0, Z3 M Roadster/Coupe, and Z4 2.5i (2003).
