Product Description

CAE Ultra Shifter - BMW (up to E46) original version
FOR SLIGHTLY SHORTER, SEE THE "STREET" VERSION 

The CAE Ultra Shifter stands above other H-pattern performance shifters for your BMW. Optimized for motorsport and characterized by its optimal ergonomics, the Ultra Shifter reduces excessive hand movement during shifts. This is NOT just a "short shifter" with a long shaft. This is a complete overhaul in your shifting experience. 

#NOFAKESHIFTER

Where the CAE differs from most other aftermarket shifter options is in the quality of materials and the quality of the machining. The highest of tolerances are used to reduce as much extra "play" during shifts. The precision positioning of your shifts reduces wear on your gearbox syncros.

#NOMONEYSHIFT

This unit features an active centering spring that provides feedback that you can feel. This keeps your shift lever positioned for your most common 3rd/4th gear changes, while pre-positioning the shift lever for precision up/down shifts.  This increases confidence and decreases your lap times. Rowing through gears NEVER felt this good.

The stock resistance-based reverse "lockout" is not 100% reliable to keep a driver from accidentally throwing the car into reverse during a downshift.  The CAE features a mechanical reverse lockout to prevent a catastrophic mis-shift.

This is the classic version. It features the original shift selector height. Optimized for reducing hand movement between the wheel and gear changes. Perfect for RACE/TRACK application.

CAE Ultra Shifter - Optimised for motor sports with the following features:

• Universal kit for vehicles with 5 and 6 speed Getrag and ZF transmissions, standard H-pattern or Dog Leg. 
• Short and super-precise shifting travel, exclusively H-pattern. 
• The coupling system remains in its original form. 
• Racing-style appearance. 
• Characterised by its optimal ergonomics with a focus on motor sports: perfect positioning of the shift lever close to the steering wheel. The shift pattern is confined to approx. 65 x 65 mm. 
• Activation of the reverse gear lock via cable reel from the shift lever. An accidental changing to the reverse gear is impossible. The reverse gear is unlocked by pulling up the sliding collar on the shift lever. 
• Low weight and high stability: the milled and lathed parts consist of 7075 aluminium alloy; the substructures are made out of laser-cut, 3 mm thick AlMg3 aluminium. The parts are combined in the WIG welding process and brushed blank for an optimal finish. 
• Problem-free shifting of gears under stress or in curves. 
• Integrated centre position spring, ensuring perfect feedback when changing columns while shifting up and down. 
• Right/left stops and reverse gear stop adjustable separately. 
• Complete kit for adaptation to BMW switch rod with all small parts and fastening material. 
• Shifters is intended for vehicles without interior equipment or without a centre console. 
• Raw Aluminum Finish (Not clear-coated) OR  Anodized.  You can choose anodized aluminum gear lever knob in various colors, black or white delrin, or alcantera wrapped with contrasting X-stitch
