UUC Motorwerks DSSR Double Shear Selector Rod Shifter Linkage for BMW 135i E82/E88 (Manual, Built Before 12/2008) - Part DSSR86-1

UUC DSSR Gear Linkage Upgrade for BMW 135i E82 E88 - Early Build Manual Models

Part number: DSSR86-1

Transform the way your 135i selects gears with the UUC DSSR gear selector bar. This twin-support linkage is precision engineered for early production BMW 135i coupé and cabriolet manual cars built before December 2008. Expect a tighter gate, reduced slack, cleaner engagement and a more confidence-inspiring, rifle-bolt shift feel. If you want a direct, positive gear change on road or track, this is the linkage replacement that delivers.

Key benefits

• Removes excessive play in the gear lever for a crisp, accurate shift action.
• Two-sided support design spreads load evenly to protect bushes and joints from distortion.
• Consistent gear selection under spirited driving and fast changes.
• High strength steel construction for long-term reliability.
• Works with the stock gear lever and popular short shift kits, including UUC EVO3.
• Ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking a sharper, more connected driving experience.

How it improves your shift

The factory gear selector rod loads the joint from one side, which can accelerate wear in the plastic bushings and create a vague, loose feel. The UUC DSSR supports the selector joint from both sides, redistributing forces across the full face area for a direct, precise correlation between your hand movement and the transmission. Pairing it with a short shift kit further reduces free play for a positive, rewarding gear change.
