BMW E46 UUC Short Shift Kits

UUC designs and manufacturers their own precision-engineered shifter components and complete short shift kits. Hands-down, UUC stands above the rest with kits that are custom tailored to your specific BMW model. UUC short shift kits are constructed from 100% stainless steel and aluminum and feature a flex free lever – far superior than other kits that use a modified BMW shift lever. Long lasting materials are used throughout the rest of the kit as well. Each Evo 3 short shifter comes with a sealed bearing at the lower pivot point that eliminates friction. And Delrin shifter carrier bushings are available on most models to eliminate excess side-to-side movement of the shifter. Each UUC Evo short shift lever is height-adjustable from stock shift knob height to .75” lower for superior ergonomics.

UUC Clutch Arm Bushing Kit - Fits most BMWs (more info)
Got a squeaky clutch pedal arm driving you insane? Is it also sloppy, and slipping to the side?

Quite simply, it is well-known that BMW's original clutch arm bushings are the culprit for these annoying problems. You can lubricate, replace, curse, even murmur obscure voodoo prayers - but none of that will work.

The Solution:

By simply replacing the stock bushings with the UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight polycetal) UUC Motorwerks Clutch Arm Bushings, you can permanently get rid of that annoying squeak and the side-slop.

The great advantage of UHMW over other materials is the superior long-term wear characteristics and self-lubricating properties.

Fits all 1982-2005 3-series (E30, E36, E46), all 1989-2006 5-series (E34, E39, E60), all Z3, Z4, and basically all other manual-transmission BMW models built since 1982.
