CAE Ultra Shifter: The highest quality and expertise for demanding drivers
Why CAE?
Customers often ask us: "Why is a CAE Ultra Shifter more expensive than others?" A legitimate question, as not everyone knows the intricacies of shifting technology and the transmission - and there is a lot of half-knowledge and misinformation circulating on the Internet. CAE deliberately focuses on the highest quality and functionality that meets the highest demands and makes a real difference. Communicating this difference is difficult; here, a gear change with an original CAE Ultra Shifter says more than 1000 words. Anyone who has ever shifted the original from Essen understands the difference. You can see for yourself at our factory in Essen.
Our claim: the highest precision and unsurpassed durability
Our Ultra Shifters are specially developed for the extreme demands of motor and rally sports. Installation without major intervention, a long service life and flawless functionality are the focus. For anyone who wants to keep their interior original, we also offer discreet underfloor shifters. Our race variants, on the other hand, focus uncompromisingly on performance and a striking design.
Experience and quality from a single source
With almost 20 years of experience in shifter development, we have built up a unique expertise - every new development begins with an analysis of the original shifting system in order to identify and correct weaknesses. Our shifters are designed, tested and adapted individually for each model and directly on the vehicle. Matching shift cables and deflection systems for each model are included. Installation is also possible on site in Essen.
"Made in Germany" - quality without compromise
For us, "Made in Germany" is more than just a slogan. Our suppliers manufacture exclusively in Germany, and our quality assurance is comprehensive: every component is carefully checked and assembled by hand in our factory in Essen. High-quality materials and precise workmanship ensure a product that sets standards in terms of reliability, accuracy of fit and functionality. We are proud of our extremely low complaint rate. Short distances, fast response times and committed partners also ensure minimal complaints and maximum customer satisfaction. It's simple: We see ourselves as a manufacturer for driving pleasure, not as a mass manufacturer of cheap products that lure customers with cheap prices and then get on their nerves when installing them, or at the latest when driving them.
Fairly calculated, sustainably produced
Quality has its price - and for good reason. By manufacturing in Germany, we support fair wages and create a high-quality product that does not rely on "cheap". The low need for complaints speaks for itself and shows that our employees and partners are highly motivated and competent.
Support that convinces
Our responsibility does not end with the sale. Installation instructions with detailed illustrations and close communication with installation partners and end customers help us to continuously develop products and specifically meet the needs of our customers. All CAE Ultra Shifters are TÜV-tested and can be delivered with a parts certificate for legal road use.
