Riggodeaux is on a distinguished road
Had my followup call with UUC Rob today. Key points: They don't sell a DSSR for this application because of clearance and installation issues. With the two point mounts on our shifting arm [the bearing sleeves, 02 on the Realoem diagram], unlike older bimmers, you don't have the torque/wear issues requiring delrin bushings, so they don't replace them as a matter of course [or include them in the kit]. Apparently, delrin in this application can generate vibration you don't need. Finally, they didn't replace the gearshift rod joint in mine [12], often a wear itme, because it was in good shape. Another point: I had them replace the diff/transfer case and Manual transmission oils, and I commented how much smoother the drivetrain seems to run. Rob attributes this to their adding LubroMoly antifriction additive [LM2019 on my invoice]. Something those changing drivetrain gear oils might consider.
