Who do we use for gear selector bushings or rebuild kit.
I’ve seen ones on eBay for about £50 for a kit and I’ve seen ones from ECS for about £250 haha.

I’m not sure which bushes exactly need changing but just want to do a bit of a refresh on it all.

Any links?

Thanks

Last time I just bought new OEM BMW ones from Cotswolds. AFAIK they are still available.

Can you remember by chance what it was you replaced?
I’m assuming 8, 2, 6, 13, and 18?

I only replaced 6 and 2 because the rest were not that bad but the only thing I would add to your list for a complete job is 17 as the pin can wear.

Make sure you get everything for the right car as there was some differences between early an late cars. :thumb:
