UUC Short Shifter - EVOLUTION 3 (Select Model)
The BMW enthusiast who can make a sophisticated decision chooses UUC.
Your BMW's original shifter - major compromises.
Are you unhappy with your BMW's original shifter? If so, is it because the feel is mushy, the throws sloppy, and "precision" is entirely absentt? Of course those are the reasons.
The UUC Ultimate Short Shifter is unique, completely different than anything else available. The design starts with the finest materials: T-304 stainless steel, T-6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, precision bearings, self-adjusting and lubricating primary pivot bearing, and the finest-grade silicone vibration absorbing material.
In the interest of continually improving this product, development and testing always brings the "ultimate" to higher levels. With that in mind, the latest generation brings the BMW shifter to a new level of smoothness and minimized shift effort.
The unique characteristics of the design include:
- height adjustment via upper-section length change (this does not change linkage geometry like moving-ball designs).
- flex and rotation-free lever construction with full-length vibration-absorbing bushing.
- linkage geometry perfectly corrected, with self-adjusting primary pivot bearing that permanently retains lubrication and precision (some models).
- zero-tolerance lower pivot bearings that never require lubrication and eliminate significant mechanism friction.
- Standard Bearing Lower Pivot guarantees precise, wear-free operation superior to any soft brass or plastic.
- Super-easy to install. If you can change your oil, you can install this shifter. Installation time varies by model (some 3-series in as little as 1-2 hours, a few applications 3-4 hours depending on installer skill). As this may be an intimidating procedure for some, it also includes the most comprehensive documentation available, complete with photographs of each step.
- All kits include shifter lever and (as needed) new washers, new circlip, white lithium grease and new BMW nylon cup.
These do not wear or ovalize like solid-metal or plastic designs with expanding tolerances.
UUC's in-house manufacturing tolerances are "mil spec" using the latest CAM-controlled machining and milling equipment. The ongoing dedication to quality and ultimate precision would tolerate nothing less.
The shifter that BMW uses is simply not a precision part, no matter if it's a 316ti or Z8.
By using in-house professional engineering staff and outside materials and manufacturing experts, our ever-growing line of BMW shifters addresses each and every "compromise" of the shifter system. The enhanced precision, direct feel, and super-smooth action cannot be duplicated by any means other than our sort of our precision assembly.
How do we do this?
- 100% stainless steel and aluminum construction - CNC-Machined, 303 Stainless Steel 6061-T6 Aircraft Grade Aluminum, machined to exacting tolerances for a flex-free lever.
- Lower pivot point enhanced with standard stainless steel bearings.
- Primary pivot equipped with self-adjusting bearing mechanism that retains lubrication.
- Delrin carrier bushings that eliminate carrier movement.
- Precise calculations of linkage geometry and ergonomic placement (correct shifter position).:
