Mallett or UUC....

I received a Mallett shortshifter for my bday and just received my UUC, which I had bought last week.

Which one should I have installed?

i love my uuc shifter...
do they look the same?
compare the bushing...
both stainless steel or just the uuc?
go stainless if not....

The Mallett one does not look stainless...so you say UUC then?

The Mallett one is shorter in length though.

If you want a noisy handle use the Malett. If you want no noise, use the UUC.
Also the malett isnt a short shifter, its a short handle!

I have the Mallett shifter...and I modified it. If you have the UUC - then go with the UUC.

It is the better of the two, IMHO.

Love my UUC, Lasstss bushings and Wienk foam mod - GM needs to copy this setup vertabim for future production runs. No noise, crisp snick, snick shifts.

My V didn't gain 60 rwhp on its own.

Ok, where did they stuff the PCM? I havent looked for it and I know its in the manuals. (easier to ask)

Under the front of the car; remove the splash guard under the radiator...I'll email you removal instructions in a few hours.

What is the foam mod?

StealthV · #14 (**permalink**) 06-20-05, 07:19 PM

The foam mod per Wienk is to cut away the foam where the shift lever contacts it going into reverse. Taking it a step further, I put the foam in around the shifter and shifted through all the gears. Wherever there was contact between the foam and the shift lever, I cut it out with .........omg, a......... BOXCUTTER. Yes, I'm a terrorist.

lastss, I know you posted before who to contact for the better bushings. For my laziness' sake, could you post that here again? And are the dimensions in the FAQ?
