BIGGST QUESTION: Is it worth it? Is the shorter throw worth the extra work it takes to make the throw? Would you do it again and why?


Thanks

I have the UUC, in place for about the last year on my 2010. The UUC is a good piece of work, and it's a great thing to have. Just do it - the dollar to enjoyment ratio is outstanding.

There is no extra work to make the throw. The required arm motion is much less, many of your normal shifts running up through the gears can be done with just wrist motion. And it just clicks in so quick and smooth.

Mine was installed for me. My mechanic put it in the air, said no way was he trying to do it from inside. I know it can be done, but you might want to plan to get it up if you can.

Good luck.
