Some background: A few weeks ago I had my UUC Evo3 short shift kit with UUC's double shear selector rod (DSSR) installed by my indy. When he got it back to me it was incredibly hard to shift into fifth. As it turns out, the DSSR was scraping against the carrier. UUC claimed it was an installation error but only after my mechanic measured the dimensions did UUC admit that it sent me the wrong shifter (the proper shifter is longer). They mailed me the correct one but I was out of town so a family member dropped it off at the mechanic and he installed it. Now it shifts nicely, but it has this off-center positioning you see above and neither myself nor the mechanic could manage to get the shifter knob to lock into place even though the neck seems to be the same dimensions as the OE shifter. As an added note, the new shifter had some plastic coming out between the adjustable upper section and the lower section and when my mechanic talked to UUC about it, they said to just cut it off. I'm beginning to wonder if UUC's quality control is slipping.
At any rate, if anyone has any insight that would be awesome. I'm getting quite annoyed with this minor nuisance.
From what I remember from other members, it don't really sit right in the middle
Just noticed your PM too. That's definitely not right. In neutral it doesn't sit directly in the center because it has to move 2 positions to the left and only one position to the right. But, it is supposed to sit straight up and down whereas yours leans to the right and that aint right.
Here's mine. EVO3 and DSSR sticking straight up in neutral. Attachment 21985
I appreciate the pics! It's definitely installed wrong. The angle of the notch for the shifter knob is facing the rear driver's side window and the passenger's front window, whereas in yours it is the opposite: from the driver's front window to the passenger's rear window. So UUC messed up by having the tamperproof screw on in the wrong side and the mechanic followed their directions causing the issue.
Yeah the shifter is 180 degrees off. You could put the shift knob on upside down :)
Hah, I thought about that. Now that I look at it though, even if I took it to the mechanic to turn it around, the notch at the top still wouldn't be correct. 180 degrees would mean the notch would still be aimed in the current and most importantly, incorrect direction. Or am I being a doofus?Quote:
