B&M 45126 PRECISION SPORT SHIFTER - BMW E36 & E46 - Manual (Page 4)

Short Throw Shifter
BMW E30, E36, E46 and E36 including M3
Part Number 45126
(Isolated Version)
German made high precision T-500 high
tempetature polymer composite Igus bushings
- Unlike ball bearings that are designed specifi-
cally for high rotation and NOT axial point load
forces over just a few degrees of rotation,
these self lubricating bushings distribute load
over the entire bushing surface and will not "flat
spot" nor cause rough movement like a point
loaded ball bearing eventually will.
Billet 6061-T6 aerospace quality blue
anodized aluminum, o-ring damped
pivot extension properly repositions
the fulcrum point of the shifter to
maintain the original shift rod angle
for smooth shifting.
Oil impregnated bronze and polymer fiber com-
posite race spherical bearing is designed for
constant self lubrication for millions of cycles.
Unlike the stock BMW plastic housing which
relies on grease for lubrication and eventually
wears to a sloppy, less-than-precision fit; this
spherical bearing has been designed to out-last
even the not-so-average BMW over 10 times
before it even begins to show even the slightest
signs of wear.
Adjustable pivot position
allows for standard BMW
and M3 model applications
in one unit.
Fully billet 416 heat treated high strength stain-
less steel lower stick.
High quality aerospace lithium
grease lubricant resists con-
tamination, drying, spoiling, and
provides the best extreme tem-
perature low friction lubrica-
tion available.
Billet 6061-T6 aerospace
quality clear anodized alu-
minum top stick.
Completely isolated and damped 303S stain-
less steel rotational load stop.
Fully rebuildable vibration isolation system uses
high compression buna-n (nitrile) o-rings that
meet or exceed ASTM D200, SAE J200, and
Aerospace Standard (AS) 568A for complete
6th axial damping.
