Odd, wonder who the heck that is
I've never personally tested the fit of my budget SSK on a 6-speed, but I did have someone from Italy pick one one for his M3 Evo. He never wrote back complaining that it didn't work, so I'm assuming it worked okay for him. Of course there's always the new UUC Evo3 specifically designed for the E36 and E46 M3 6-speeds, I should have another one of those in stock soon.Comment

I just installed an EVO 3 in my 98 M3 coupe, and it is a dream. Understeer's website has them a cheaper than what I paid for mine, but expect to pay anywhere from $300-$400 shipped, and a couple of hours for installation (I may be the least mechanically inclined person in the world). I would highly recommended the UUC.Comment

You've got a 6 Speed?Comment

would there be any problem fitting an Evo 2 to a 6 speed that was purchased for the 5 speed model? is there something that makes the 6 speed different?Comment

The necessary lever ratios are different between the two gearboxes as are the lever bends. All BMW levers are "similar" in the way they're designed, so it's likely that you could interchange them, but it wouldn't be "perfect". The 5-speed SSK connected to the 6-speed gear box would probably shorten the throw by 50% or more which is where the shift effort starts getting more "notchy". UUC likes to shoot for a 35-45% shift throw reduction with their SSKs.Comment

Hey guys,
The Euro E36 M3 6-speed uses an entirely different shifter setup than other models. This is due to the unique geometry of the 6-speed transmission and the space limitations of where the shifter is mounted.
You must use our specific part number for the E36 M3 6-speed (part number USSE62).
A little off-topic, but we will have the first of our steel Stage2 flywheels available for the 6-speed by the end of this week. The difference with these is that they are steel (instead of our usual aluminum), so they add a few pounds. The reason for this is the 6-speed's tendency to rattle with a lightweight flywheel more than the 5-speed, and the extra weight damps the rattle-causing power pulse variations a bit more.
The steel Stage2 will also work on 5-speeds for enhanced rattle reduction.Comment
