Love my UUC, it is exactly the same as the Katech except the Katech has a threaded top and UUC is notched for the factory ****.

I bought a B&M shifter and love it as well. I used foam that goes around copper plumbing pipes and cut and put it around the shifter. It knocked a ton of noise down and I cant tell a difference noise wise over the stock shifter.

I have a Katech one. I like it, but it does make more noise than the stocker.

I love my Katech w/ UUC bushings. I do not notice the noise, at all. Threaded MOMO ball makes it feel even shorter.

I installed a B & M on mine. Wish I would have done it sooner. Great mod.

I use to sell the B&M shifter until they discontinued it. Has anyone been able to buy one lately? Bob

I've only seen them on ebay from Atlanticspeed Bob. But even that's been a while now.

I bought my B&M from Atlantic Speed about a month ago or so. I can't make a comparison between the others since this is the only one I have ever driven. Don't forget to buy the UUC bushings from Luke.

I know its not one of the ones listed in your review, but I've owned both a Pro 5.0 and (currently) a B&M Ripper for my SS, and I prefer the B&M all the way.

They both also have a two-piece shaft with a silicone damper to help isolate transmission noise, but the Katech is more than $100 cheaper at the regular everyday price. Jason will occasionally have them on sale at a substantial discount.

Kind of like the difference between a Beretta 92 and a Taurus 92, both have quality workmanship, work equally well, and have excellent durability, but the Taurus is less expensive.

I bought my B & M from Atlantic Speed as well, about 2 months ago.

IMO, Stock C6 shifter>any V1 aftermarket shifter----so why did they make our's so shiatty, maybe it was the uncle of the guy who planned/designed our rear-ends. I am on a roll today,,,

I think a lot of the problem lies in our shift linkage and not the shifter itself.

my Katech was a huge improvement of stock but also makes more noise. what i dont get is if i grip the **** tight the noise goes away.

Your hand is absorbing the vibrations (noise) similar to putting dynamat on it.

My B&M is just the opposite, I get noise if I keep my hand on it!!!

My UUC shifter has more play when engaged as opposed to my C6 when in neutral---I am on an anti-V1 campaign, as tired of clunk, actually clunks, sloppy gearbox and POS rear-end. Damn good thing I love my V or else it would be gone.

I've driven a V with a UUC and have a B&M. Was louder at first, but now is quiet.

Both are a million miles better than the stock shifter.

I have UUC and is the best mod ever! I can't compare to anything but stock and it is 300% improvement. I went through the same decision making process and chose UUC shifter and bushings. I get no noise at all.
