UUC DSSR Double Shear Selector Rod for BMW 135i (N54) E82/E88 & 1M E82 (01/2009+) – Gear Linkage/Shift Linkage Upgrade – Manual 6‑Speed – Short‑Throw Shifter Compatible (EVO3) – Reduces Gear Stick Play – Performance Shift Rod/Selector Bar – DSSR127‑1

Precision Gear Selector Linkage Upgrade for BMW 135i E82 E88 and BMW 1M 01/2009 onwards

Transform the way your 1 Series engages gears with UUC’s double‑shear selector linkage. This upgraded gear selector bar clamps both sides of the joint for rock‑solid support, dramatically cutting gear lever wobble and sharpening gate definition. Expect a tighter, more mechanical feel, cleaner engagement and faster, more confident upshifts and downshifts on road and track.

• Dual‑shear support stabilises the selector joint for consistent, accurate shifts
• Major reduction in gear stick play and vagueness compared with the factory single‑shear link
• Improved centring, clearer gate locations and a more positive, connected driving feel
• Robust steel construction engineered to resist bush wear and ovalisation
• Compatible with the OE lever and performance short‑throw assemblies including UUC EVO3
• Perfect for fast road builds, track day prep and drivers who want a precise manual gearbox

Why this selector linkage works

The stock link loads the plastic bush from one side, which leads to deformation and sloppy engagement over time. UUC’s dual‑sided design sandwiches the selector joint evenly so movement at the gear stick translates directly to movement at the transmission. Pair it with a quality short‑throw lever for a shorter throw and even sharper precision.

• BMW 135i E82 and E88 with manual transmission, 01/2009 onwards
