the issue is that the selector rod has to take torsion. a tie rod only has to take tension and compression, which is why that joint works fine.
I don't know if it's threaded but I hope not. It looked like a compression joint, but it could still slip and move. Maybe it has holes or something to lock it in place.
I do like that it comes with the selector rod joint though.

Originally posted by Kershaw View PostI hear what you're saying, but that type of clamp is fairly common in the auto industry. Hell, our tie rods use it. A little locktite and I'd doubt that bolt is going anywhere.
Yes, that clamp will hold all the tension and torque spindly little human arms are capable of generating.

well I don't know about you but I can put a lot of torque on something with one hand especially with a 12:1 leverage ratio. ;)
it might be OK but it's not something I would personally want in my car, it's such a pain in the ass to get to if it ever did slip or come loose. it's not difficult to have it modified and it's about the same price, so why bother?

We sell a lot of these along with the CAE Ultra Shifter. We use it in our own S54'd E36 and E46M3 and it has never come loose. I can't even think of a case where this has happened.
In your average street car, the adjustability is not necessary. In a custom track-built race chassis sometimes having the option to "reposition" the placement of the shifter to best suit the driver position is desired. When you're using an extended shifter like the CAE, it's best to get the knob positioned in such a way that suits your personal quirks and preferences. Hey, race drivers are pretty particular about such things.
