The Rogue Engineering OCTANE Short Shift Kit represents years of experience and research; RE continues to design and build the best short shift kits on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShifter Lever Upper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe RE OCTANE features a CNC-machined 303 stainless steel upper section. This adds 150g more to the top of the shift lever (compared to aluminum), helping to improve shifter feel. This small increase in mass compliments the incorporated WSR (weighted selector rod; not available on all models). The outside profile has been designed to mimic the factory lever. This means that you can use your factory (including illuminated) shift knob.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLowering NVH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIsolating noise and vibration with a custom molded rubber insert, the OCTANE shifter minimizes NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) more than any other shifter on the market. By designing specific characteristics into the insert, unwanted shifter free play is minimized without excessive harshness. The OCTANE shift lever has 308% more vibration-absorbing material than its closest competitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShift Lever Lower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stainless steel lower section of the shifter lever is threaded to integrate with the pivot ball, eliminating circlips for pivot ball position. The distance is pre-set by Rogue Engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePivot Ball and Pivot Bushing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA stainless pivot ball offers durability in addition to the unique adjustable feature. The lower pivot bushings are Delrin, which has proven to be a heat resistant and excellent material for this position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth Operator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe OCTANE features Rogue Engineering's exclusive Self-Adjusting Pivot Point (SAPP). Most other shifters (including the factory) rely on a pivot assembly that binds when new and requires a break-in period, after which unwanted play is introduced. The SAPP eliminates this break-in period, allowing the pivot to move freely at all times. Its wave spring mechanism continually loads the pivot assembly with a consistent force, compensating for bushing wear, with no intricate mechanisms that can fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMADE IN USA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eE9X M3 Kit includes Rogue Engineering's Dual Shear Selector Rod (DSSR).
