ZF S5D 5-Speed Detent Repair Kit

The ZF 5-speed transmission, popular among BMW enthusiasts, is known for its stoutness but is also prone to detent issues, particularly in higher-mileage units. This BimmerWorld Kit ZF 320z S5D 5-Speed Detent Repair Kit is engineered to address these common problems and restore proper transmission function. The kit contains all necessary components to remedy the detent issues, including three detent covers, three shift pin kits, two shift pin bushing kits, and two detent pins. These parts work together to eliminate the notorious 5th gear lean and ensure a smooth, precise shifting experience, free from centering defects. Symptoms indicating the need for this kit include the shifter leaning towards the 5th gear position while in neutral, resistance when shifting between gears, or intermittent sticking in gear, particularly between 1st and 2nd. Installation is described as fairly simple, provided the transmission is removed from the vehicle, though a set of tools known as "drifts" are required. This part has not yet specified vehicle applications. For fitment verification, customers are advised to contact the sales team via phone, live chat, or email.
