Best Short Shifter

[VeLoCiTy318]

wanna know your guys' opinions

[jrhaile]

UUC cheaper then AC and better. AC/Dinan stuff over prices

[Kevin325i]

The OE lever is just as nice IMHO. The position of the shifter isn't perfect, but you can't beat it for 40 bucks.

Used all of them besides the UUC one... Rogue Engineering is the best one.. by far....

Good isn't generally cheap.

BTW Velocity, I checked with Zionsville, and they said I had the B&M Sport Model.

Is that the one you had there Les, and if so, what do you like better about the Rogue? I ask because my SSK is the best shifter I've ever owned.

[97alpineM3]

I will promot the Rogue SSK any day.. that is the best shifter around... I'm used the B&M... and was impressed.. but it doesnt have the feel of the Octane SSK... I think it has to do with the WSR and its demensions... or maybe its just me.. but I love it...

Rogue makes great stuff.. and I will stand behind that shifter any day..

thanx for the info jilphan i appreciate it. i think ive narrowed it down to an OE shift lever or a B&M kit. i cancelled out the UUC and RE because of money.

[buuhh99]

rogue enginnering is kind of a race shop aa has one as well ; i like race car parts

[Furious]

i keep hearing uuc has the best ssk

[VeLoCiTy318]

i heard that ssk's can give off a rattling noise...does any of your guys' do that?

[jllphan]

Never had a rattle here.

I'm sure most of the SSK's listed above are great. You are talking about performance products from performance companies.

I will say that B&M has been around for a looooooong time though, that's probably why so many speed shops recomend them.

I have a UUC Evo3 and it is very nice.

I would reccomend it to anyone.

Better to sit behind it - you wont hit your head!

I didn't vote as I only have experience with the B & M (recently installed in my Audi S4. Got 25% throw reduction and about 1" height reduction...I'm very pleased. Slushiness is totally gone (big problem with the stock S4) and I love the short throws, shift height is fine and shifting much more positive. Its a bit more notchy - quite a bit because the stock was not at all - but thats OK - just a bit of resistance getting into 2nd at times (when cold it seems)...overall a vast improvement - seems very solid. I would love to hear more detail on how each SS feels etc. The short shift in my ZHP is just wonderful IMO - very positive click click action - smoother then the B & M but otherwise pretty comparable.
