Shoot that looks real nice for less than half the UUC unit! I should email to confirm fitment for our 5-speeds

it was very hard shifting into gear and downshifting was damn near impossible when it finally blew i had started in 1st revved to like 3.5k tried to shift and it was stuck in gear. When the RPM's got down i shifted as usual and drove another 20 minutes before i got stuck in 4th gear :dunno:

my buddy said it looked like an over rev but it was on its way out for sure

heres the problem

wow that thing is shot

A shame BUT you now have a chance to do some good things with the car to make it better.

• Change transmission fluid to Redline MTL
• Change transfer case fluid to Redline MTL
• Remove your clutch delay valve
• Put a better (not the LuK self adjusting) clutch in your car. Call UUC in Atlanta first, if Rob can't sort you out then go to Clutch Masters in Texas.
• Install the UUC short shifter as well, Rob has this back in production.

Enjoy, it'll be a better X5 when you're done.

Davintosh, nice find! That looks like a pretty sweet piece of art. I like that it is adjustable at all pivot/articulation points and has a vibration dampener to reduce vibration transduction/noise into the cabin. I hope its true that they have a specific application for our "SAV's". The price is good too compared to the UUC. Hmmmm...... options are good.

Might be something to try but not on an X5 or X3. I have supplied an OEM shifter to UUC for the X5, it has a very specific bend at the bottom that this one wouldn't have. For an X3, it has a (nearly) 90 degree bend at the bottom, even worse.

This would be similar to the Evo 1 or Evo 2 release (UUC). UUC is now at UUC with a seperate shifter ball cup (Evo 3) that is also significant to shifter geometry improvements.

2003 3.0 X5 Manual... so far just the aFe intake, but will be putting in a new exhaust soon.

where in Jersey? looks nice, are those the ebay halogen headlights, not DEPO right? I'd love to do some exhaust mods for mine to get a bit more tone out of the exhaust.

I'm in Islien, NJ..... I got Spec-D headlights (similar if not same to many of the ebay ones)

Install was pretty straight forward, but did need a mulitmeter to do some rewiring and initial troubleshooting.

If your looking for just tone... have you considred glasspacks ?
