Default UUC or Tanoga Short shifter

I'm looking to upgrade to a short shifter...

which one do people have experience with, and of course, which one is better?

Default This poll used to reveal a UUC preference, now Tanoga usually wins

I like my UUC too

Default I've used both. Both are very good.

I really liked the UUC, set at 30%. Was notchy, but in a good way. Very solid and very good installation.

I switched to the Tanoga, and the install was a bit more involved, and I messed up the first install. Once I got it right, it has very tight and positive shift feel, which I like. A tad bit less notchy, though I originally liked the UUC better, I love the T now, a tad smoother.

If you can find some one that has one or the other, give it a try.

Measure the position of your shifter (in nuetral), tip (**** removed) to the four holes the shift boot and plate attach too. This will help you get a baseline for the new shifter location.

Default yea I skipped that last part and it took me 45min to fine tune it....Also I have tried both and love

the tanoga...Tanoga %50 (vs) UUC %40 is not that noticeable but the tanoga is much smoother IMO.

Had both, Tanoga's better. Install is the key.

Default Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the feedback. I've been meaning to do this for a little while, just never got around to it! Time for a little xmas present for myself...
