No matter how smooth your 3 Series runs or how tight your suspension setup is, loose and vague shift action destroys all the confidence you have in your driving. The rebuild kits available at ECS include everything you need to rebuild your shifter assembly, from the bushings and clips to the dowel pin. To improve your shift feel from factory, you may also choose to replace the soft factory rubber with virgin Teflon rod, an advanced formula that contains no fillers or impurities, resulting in a long lasting and extremely precise feel.

PCV systems don't just limit harmful emissions. They remove blow-by gases and contaminants that contain water, oxidants, and acids that degrade lube oil and shorten engine life. A faulty PCV system can cause a wide range of problems, including poor performance, rough or high idle, multiple oil leaks, and contamination of vehicle sensors and catalytic converters. OEM PCV Refresh Kits include two breather tubes, a vent tube, and the necessary clamps to fully service your PCV system.

Sport springs feature a spring rate that is firmer than that of the OE spring but is still comfortable enough for daily use. The springs are an excellent choice for street and occasional track use. Made in Germany, H&R Sport Springs are manufactured to old world standards where "excellence" is more than just a word.

The symptoms are annoying. The costs can be painful. DISA valves control intake manifold runner length to improve engine performance at different rpm. When they fail, the DISA valve bangs around in its housing, making a rattling noise accompanied by rough idle and off-idle hesitation. If your BMW experiences these symptoms, don't wait to fix it. In some cases, parts of the DISA--including a metal spreader pin--can be sucked into your engine, causing serious engine damage.

Massive rotors, multiple-piston brakes, and advanced pads are glamorous, eye-catching upgrades to your vehicle. But experienced enthusiasts know that all that stopping power relies on adequately bled brake lines. Your brake fluid is incompressible, like a metal; but air is compressible, so ridding your lines of this gas is imperative for fully realized braking power and response. ECS has an array of solutions to tighten up your braking system, including a Power Brake Bleeder, multiple synthetic Brake Fluid options, and a premium Schwaben Brake Bleeder Wrench.

Stuffing new brake pads in your BMW doesn't really qualify as a brake job, especially on high-milers and vehicles driven where the roads are salted in winter. Pads and rotors don't just wear out. Many suffer from rust scale accumulations, warping, and surface pitting that reduce braking efficiency--and extend stopping distances far beyond what BMW intended. Now you can install pads, rotors, and hardware at the same time to restore driving pleasure, and braking performance appropriate for a true driving machine.

A frequent dilemma when fitting an upgraded seat belt to track-prepared street cars is how to balance the needs of daily driving with the demands of performance driving. A dedicated track-day setup is typically impractical, while running without a substantial harness forces the driver to use the steering wheel to hold themselves in place. Schroth Racing Quick Fit Harnesses are fully reversible and anchor to the factory seat belt pre-tensioner, allowing the airbags to deploy as the VW engineers intended. Both left (driver) and right (passenger) harnesses are available.

The most popular spring in H&R's line-up, Sport Springs will lower your R55 MINI Clubman S an average of 1.4 inches for a lower center of gravity, improved handling, and a more aggressive appearance.

Suspension parts are also known to last longer when done together so other failing parts don't put extra stress on the new ones.

An exceptionally clever method of servicing your MKV Jetta's transmission fluid, the air compressor-assisted Schwaben DSG Transmission Service Tool makes the job easy, clean, and fast. Instead of relying on gravity to slowly fill your transmission with fluid, the Schwaben tool connects to a standard transmission fluid bottle and pressurizes it with an air compressor, quickly forcing the fluid into the transmission. A blow molded case conveniently stores the DSG and Tiptronic filler adapters, screw cap bottle adapter, quick-fill valve and 5 ft. of clear hose with clamps.

Plug-and-play for your MINI. Get them, and get safe!

The Heater Hose Junction 'T' Fitting is located behind the engine, against the firewall at the junction for the heater core hoses. Because the part is made from plastic, it very poorly resists heat cycling, resulting in a tendency to crack over time. This presents a great risk to your engine, as coolant can leak suddenly, causing a spike in engine temperatures. ECS assembled and genuine OEM Water Hose Junction Kits are now available for your W140 S-Class. Both kits include the new Heater Hose Junction 'T' Fitting and the correct coolant for your car.

The wiper arm supplied from the factory for the B6 A4 1.8T Avant oftentimes doesn't apply enough pressure to the blade to cleanly wipe glass free of snow or heavy rain.
