**********s | UUC EVO3 Short Shifter Kit w/ DSSR | E9X M3
What's new with EVO3?
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.

While producing arguably one of the best short shifter kits on the market today, UUC's goal didn't just end there, but to overall increase the smoothness and precision of the entire operation. In gear play or 'looseness' is eliminated through UUC's new DSSR design. How is this done you ask? [IMG]http://www.**********s.com/images/Products/UUC_Motorwerks/UUC_DSSR_1.jpg[/IMG] The Problem One major wear and deformation part in the shifter assembly is the connection point between the transmission and shifter's lower pivot point. In BMW's OEM factory, the connection ends have a large injection-molded plastic bushings, plastic isn't the best material to be used for high wear parts as you may already know; connecting the two between the two lower pivot points is the OEM selector rod, a single rod with a 90 degree open ended pin on each side. This design exerts an enormous amount of force on the bushings from one side called, single shear force. The end result is, in gear play or 'looseness' causing over all free play and sloppiness in the entire assembly. [IMG]http://www.**********s.com/images/Products/UUC_Motorwerks/UUC%20DSSR%20Lower%20Pivots_1.jpg[/IMG] The Solution Why not just replace the bushings again? This is a temporary fix as the bushing will just be worn down again with constant use. To completely rid of this problem, UUC worked from the ground up replacing the Selector rod with their own Double Shear Selector Rod. Compared with the OEM design seen in the picture below, the UUC DSSR uses a more compact design with closed ended pins on each end; this result in the even distribution of forces on the pins and bushings themselves, eliminated play and looseness, the only free play is in the transmission itself.

This is a great product--a must have for anyone who is even a little disappointed in the stock. The shifts are more precise and smooth and I absolutely love the 3-4 shift. Ron's a great guy. I'll get a vid of the shifter up shortly
