UUC DSSR?

[andyhundley]

So right now I am collecting parts for when my car comes out of storage in a couple weeks. I ordered a z3/zhp and bushing kit from blunt I am on the fence about ordering the UUC DSSR. Is it worth the extra $ or should I just run the stock selector rod?

I have it, its a good product, but you could make the same thing if you have a basic knowledge of machining.  

I dont regret buying mine though.

Damn.... Not "a lot" of $$$ but enough to not have me order one right away. Thanks for the lessons - lots of learning when switching to a new platform!

You caught me with your telekinesis. Anything else I need to know? I should be making one tonight. What type of steel?

[B C]

I would say 304 stainless, and use oil-impregnated bronze sleeve bearings in place of bushings.

[Rowleym]

I was under the impression the double sear rod was the only needed solution. Need to replace those bushing as well eh? 

304 stainless why? We don't carry stainless so I would have to order it.

[B C]

Id replace this plastic bushing with a bronze sleeve bushing ^^^ 

304 because aluminum is too soft and plain carbon steel might rust to the pin that goes through the middle/nobody likes rusty parts

[ClassE]

I could have them zinc coated up by me for cheap.

[andyhundley]

So should I buy one from UUC? Haha

[B C]

it was annoying for me seeing how simple of a part it is and that it could be made yourself for less money, but the cost had to be looked at as paying for the convenience of not having to make it. 

Time is money, money is time, and there is never enough of either of them.

I'd be interested in on for my m3. Planned on installing a new shifter soon.
