I have thought about bending and modifying one of those solid aluminum shifters off ebay. Pretty cheap and you can use your existing shifter as a template......just with the longer section below the pivot ball....but UUC shifter package is simply amazing and the quality is second to none. I may try to build an "ebay" one for giggles and gaggles. Quote:
Also...check your disa valve---that can cause goofy stuff if that flap is well...flapping around. Another thing that I will be doing is going away from the self adjusting clutch mechanism as I honestly think it can kinda kill that solid "connected" feel that these new BMW's don't have. Who cares if their clutch engagement point changed by a 1/2 inch over its lifetime. I have a good idea..."lets add complexity and a solution to a question that no one is asking!". My rant for the night...I gotta go study.

Put me down on the list:
2004 X5 3.0 6MT Premium / Cold Weather owned since 48K; now almost 120K in NoVA. Its a hammer for commuting around DC area once up to speed. Just installed DISA repair kit from G.A.S (along with a new CCV kit from ECS). Huge improvement in smoothness and reduced surging off the line 1-2. Consistent all the way to redline, and eliminated jerkiness when on/off throttle. Pleasure to drive now. Often skip gears when just tooling around in stop and go traffic and amazed at how flexible the 3.0 is holding a gear at low revs. Would be interested in the UUC SSK. Next item is installing an OEM hitch I got from ECS thats been sitting in the garage for like 6 months. |

+1 on aftermarket software, my old VW needed a "chip" mod for it to have smooth throttle response, shark injector sounds nice i'll have to look it up, or you could always go Dinan stage 1 software for 300 bucks or so? I will also look into the DME software update from the dealer, is it free and would it apply to pre-facelifts? Sometimes i feel that drive by wire lag and its annoying! Haven't done the DISA full upgrade yet but I replaced the seal with a silicone o-ring from G.A.S. and it got smoother, the flap was working flawlessly as far as I could test so I didnt bother with replacing the assembly, yet.

Speaking of short shifter kits, I just bumped into this while browsing the Schmiedmann website.. Looks like a nice piece, specifically for the e53 with adjustable positions and all. $145 US doesn't sound bad for that. Anybody here using one & able to report on it?

What caused it to explode and was it dragging making shifting difficult before? |
