UUC Short Shifter (EVO3)

& UUC DSSR


 

An Introduction to the UUC Short Shifters & DSSR 

Nothing that can make every drive more satisfying like the "snick-snick" feeling of a precision shifter.  Too bad BMWs are not known for that, and that is where UUC Motorwerks steps in. There is a reason UUC's short shifter for BMWs has been acclaimed as "the best at any price" in a major enthusiast's magazine, and why it is the single choice for competitors in Speedvision's Touring Car, CCA, and Grand Am race series.

The UUC Ultimate Short Shifter is unique, completely different than anything else available.  Our 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.  Our products are not modified BMW components, and they are not "one size fits all" as with lesser offerings.

What makes the UUC Motorwerks short shifter kit so good
is the engineering and attention to fine details, many different points that add up to tremendous differences in how the unit works and feels.

We use our own precision-machined pieces, all "massive overkill" designs, race-tested to ensure they easily surpass the rigors of street use.

Upper lever section is height-adjustable for driver comfort and personalized ergonomics. Simply loosen, slide lever to preferred height, and re-tighten.


CNC-machined stainless steel lower section features integral pivot ball and self-adjusting primary pivot bearing. No welds, no plastic.

Special features that make the "Ultimate Short Shifter" unique:
100% CNC-machined 303 stainless steel and 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum construction.
UUC's "massive overkill" design philosophy exemplified. The precision machining of these shifters makes them feel like a solid one-piece design that still absorbs vibration via the rubber inner section. They do not come apart or flex like "clip together" shifters.
Height-adjustable design.

 

UUC's years of shifter experience and continual development have resulted in a major upgrade to our product, the all-new EVO3.

What's new with EVO3?  Everything.

Every part of the EVO3 has been changed from EVO2. Superficial appearance shows little difference, but every internal component, dimension, and hardware piece has been changed.  While keeping within the basic design of the earlier EVO2, the EVO3 is as close to a "clean sheet" design as possible.

Important upgrade points:

  • Subjectively 20% effort reduction compared to EVO2, very close to stock effort feel. This is accomplished by a complete reconfiguration of lever dimensions, linkage geometry, and all friction and pivot points in the assembly. 

    This results in the smoothest and least-notchy shifter available.  Due to the increased precision and smoothness of the assembly, shift effort is only slightly increased over the original BMW setup.
      

    The exact same 35% reduction in shift travel (100mm from 3rd gear to 4th gear total travel) is retained at stock height, and down to over 40% when height is adjusted to the short end of the adjustment range.

    Completely self-contained and self-adjusting primary pivot bearing assembly. Unlike the original BMW pivot bushing cup setup, our new bearing system is not open to outside contamination (underside of the car in the BMW shifter assembly is exposed to road dirt) and will retain lubrication, keep out the grit that "roughens" a shifter feel over time (and destroys plastic ball pivots like the OE and many aftermarket units), and positions the shifter assembly perfectly for ideal linkage alignment. 

    New full-length internal vibration absorbing material that surpasses any OE or aftermarket material for longevity and retention of design specifications.

    New standard lower pivot bearing setup with enhanced ease of installation.
