Ordered UUC a long time ago. Long story, but boils down to bad service. 3 times they sent the wrong shifter, multiple delays, and on the last one they told me to have the shop bend it to fit. So I paid for install and uninstall multiple times for nothing.

Looking to get the Burger SSK as it's only $150
http://www.burgertuning.com/short_sh...5_335_535.html

What's odd, the "Download Install Guide" link on that page details UUC Evo3 SSK install.

Anyone familiar with the Burger unit? Is it a clone of the UUC or actual UUC unit much cheaper than UUC? Or they just have wrong install guide posted?

Edit: looks like from some other threads I found, the BMS SSK is made by Shifteck. I'll have to try and source proper instructions.
I've got BMS now. Same install procedure as other SSKs. Works great

If you don't get any satisfaction maybe consider a shifter from autosolutions, mine is being made at the moment. Communications I had with Ronald from there were very informative and I could only find very good reviews of his shifters. They are made to order, you elect the % reduction of throw (he'll give you some advice in that regard, I've gone with 25%) and the shift pivot point & height are identical to stock so you can use stock boot/shift knob (a video of the Rogue shows it forward of stock hence why the stock boot pulls up)
Too late I already paid

Thanks, good to know! Will be my first time DIY an SSK, so the instructions are important!

Do you have any images of the shifter after the install? Does the shift knob sit straight or is it tilted? And how do you like the shift feel? I heard the BMS shifters were really notchy.

I don't have pics on me. It does sit very straight. It is very notchy and I like the feel. What I don't like as much is the audible "click" when going into gear. It's a minor downside in my opinion. I'll take it over the lifeless feel of the stock setup
