The UUC Ultimate Short Shifter 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. UUC products are not modified BMW components, and they are not "one size fits all" as with lesser offerings.
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. These do not wear or ovalize like solid-metal or plastic designs with expanding tolerances.
