Uuc e36 short shifter driver#

The DSSR is compatible with all brand shifters, whether original BMW or other-brand aftermarket. The DSSR permanently fixes these shifters also. The original BMW shifter and all other aftermarket shifters (except UUC which uses deformation-free bearings) contain a plastic bushing similar to the selector joint, and the exact same wear and ovalization causes those shifters to get sloppy. In-gear 'free play' is reduced to approximately 10mm total when used with a UUC EVO3 shifter. By taking advantage of the strength of steel in the DSSR and the body of the joint, the problem of deformation is eliminated and the movement of the selector rod correlates directly to movement of the selector joint - the only 'free play' movement remaining in the shifter assembly is from within the transmission itself. The DSSR redistributes the torsional forces from the pin/bushing interface to the complete face area on both sides of the selector joint. To permanently fix this, a change in the fundamental design of the pivot is required, changing the assembly to a double shear system with the UUC Double Shear Selector Rod (DSSR). Unfortunately, this is only a temporary fix as the new joint's bushing will exhibit the same rapid deformation.

The result is an in-gear shifter 'free play' of 3/4' and up to 1' in either direction, over 35mm total.ДЄ temporary fix is to simply replace the selector joint.

The looseness and slop are magnified by the leverage-multiplication effect of the shift lever itself. The result is a steady deformation of the bushing, resulting in looseness and slop in the entire mechanism. The design of the selector rod has a pin at 90В° to the main rod, which exerts a tremendous amount of leveraged force on the selector joint bushing from one side (known as a single shear force). We already know how badly plastic wears in an automotive application, and these areas are not an exception. In the original BMW design, the connection at both ends has a large injection-molded plastic bushing. One significant wear area that has never been addressed previously is the wear and ovalization of the linkage connection points at the transmission and the shifter's lower pivot. They do not come apart or flex like 'clip together' shifters.While producing a 'short' shifter, our more important goal in improving the BMW shifter assembly is to increase the precision and smoothness of the overall operation. The precision machining of these shifters makes them feel like a solid one-piece design that still absorbs vibration via the rubber inner section.

UUC's 'massive overkill' design philosophy exemplified.

100% CNC-machined 303 stainless steel construction.

Special features that make the 'Ultimate Short Shifter' unique: Simply loosen, slide lever to preferred height, and re-tighten.Д¬NC-machined stainless steel lower section features integral pivot ball and self-adjusting primary pivot bearing.

Upper lever section is height-adjustable for driver comfort and personalized ergonomics. We use our own precision-machined pieces, all 'massive overkill' designs, race-tested to ensure they easily surpass the rigors of street use. 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. NOTE: EVO3 shifters include cartriadge bearings and delrin carrier bushings standard. NOW SHIPPING! EVO3 shifters featuring lower shift effort.
