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.
NOTE: EVO3
shifters include cartridge bearings and delrin carrier bushings standard.
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.
