Default I just replaced my UUC with Neuspeed minutes ago...

...and like the feel of the Neuspeed better. Yeah it's short, but the slop that the UUC had is GONE. It seemed that the ball joint on the UUC shifter was over-machined and there was some annoying slop in the pivot. Lots of people DO like UUC. Even the Audi service guys said that some slop is normal. My personality just wouldn't tolerate it, though. If you still want the UUC, e-mail me and I'll make you a sweet deal on one. ;-)

You've got mail. I'll take that UUC off your hands!

Neuspeed is shorter (less tall) and has less play.

Default Hehe - another satisfied customer. I'm with you Damon..........

After driving both kits, I much prefer the Neuspeed - it's tighter and "snick"ier IMHO.

How do you like the reduced height?

I have a UUC and it does not have any abnormal play. I'm very pleased with my UUC. I don't know if the difference is that have a 2001

Default I'm getting used to the reduced height of the Neuspeed...

...unlike the slop in the UUC unit, which I'd just couldn't get used to.

Default Curious, but

how much shorter is the throw on the Neuspeed shifter? I like my UUC, but my only complaint would be the slop and the long throw.

Default I'm not sure I'd say it has less play....

My UUC is very tight and I'm really happy with it. I do like the shorter Neu. SS however, but I think that the play should be the same. I have read the posts from folks that have had play issues with the UUC and the only thing I can think of is that they have not gotten it lined up and correctly linked to the shifter linkage.

I've gotta agree with WClark on this one.
