The difference between the AutoX and Ultra arms is the spherical bearing that's only on the AutoX kits.

The AutoX kits are much easier to shift compared to the Ultra kits that require more effort.

You can fix this by going to the gym/getting all the groceries in the house in one trip.

But if I was going to do it again, I'd go AutoX on all of mine.

This info helps a lot, thank you!! I'm looking for less effort so it sounds like I'll go w/ the AutoX.

Now to decide on what percentage I want to go with..

Good morning everyone! Just made an appointment to get a manual swap for my E46. I would really like to have the precision and the direct feel of an RTD shifter. However, I do think it looks pretty ugly so I would want something that looks OEM. I hate how big the shifter is haha. Is there anything in the market that looks OEM, with the same functionality? Thank you.

I had an RTD shifter that was extremely fast and precise, but it wasn’t great for street driving at lower RPMs. It felt very notchy, and I often had to fight the shifter to slow it down. At higher speeds, though, it was smooth as butter. I kept my OEM boot and paired it with a Motorsport knob, and I thought it looked pretty decent.

If I were to do it all over again—and now I get to with my new car—I’d go with an Auto Solutions shifter instead.
