Short shifter

Just a word of warning to all you kids looking for the UUC shortshifter

FORGET IT !!!!!!6 weeks I've been waiting and still not even shipped !!!!

2 phone calls and been promised it would leave the next day !!

Then I'm told (in best yanky accent) "its outa stock at the moment... Where in Ireland do you live... is that near London? .... NO !!!! .... Is it near Dublin..?.".

If this is the quality of the staff I'm are dealing with ... god knows what the product will be like ...... if it ever gets here

It had better be worth it !!!!!!!

Most people seem to be happy with them. I'm looking for one at the moment although I'm hoping to get one privately.

Steve, we had a group buy that went on for months!!
Lots of delays etc etc...

Many people dropped out, but eventually it arrived and was worth the wait.

I say f%ck that mentality. You can trail back shipping all the way, so you will know what "It will leave today" means.

Just get the Z3 or Z4 shifter, I will write a comprehensive story on fitting mine somewhere around 2027 when the 'box is coming out for the new clutch

Yes I'm interested in this as well! If the mechanics and feel are similar then I can just run over to the stealer's and grab one!

When I ordered mine, I just bought it through one of UUC dealers, much easier to do business with than direct with UUC themselves, who are hopeless.

I got mine delivered to Australia (somewhere between London and Dublin) in around a week.

Well done, Pluto is usually used as the third triangulation point (with London and Dublin) to locate Australia, at least that's how Captain Cook found it.
