VR quickshift?

[MK1Campaign 0]

Does anyone have one of these fitted and where did you get it?. Are they worth it?. Cant say im a fan of the standard shift.

Out of interest and slightly related, is there a difference between the shifter in early and late cars? My valver has a far better shift than the VR, and I was thinking about using the shift mech (Well, lever and maybe cables) from my breaker in the VR when I rebuild it?

Didn't H8RRA used to make them or something?

 

Look at Deisel Geeks, I'm pretty sure ther's a guide there.

 

Gruvenparts do a kit that reduces side to side motion by 35% I believe. it replaces the plastic arm on the gearbox shift tower.

I've had a Dieselgeek one for about a year now, it's excellent, the fitting was a bit difficult and involved surgery with the Dremel to get it to fit, but well worth the effort.

made at least a dozen now by modidng std equipment or one form a passat.

 

never break and work perfectly.

I've got the Gruvenparts alloy sideways short shift but haven't got around to fitting it yet. Hope to do that over the w/e maybe if I can sneak out undetected.

 

There's a B & M kit. Haven't tried it, tho'. I think Jabba have them. Have a look : http://www.jabbasport.com/product_detail.asp?CategoryID=49

 

If anyone's got one on their Corrado, I'd be interested in their feedback on it.

I've also modded quite a few in the past and have today just finished modding one for my car.

The B&M kit has a pretty poor rep on here. I was thinking about one, but a lot of people seem to have had problems with them - try a search. Ended up with the Dieselgeek kit which is basically a modded standard one plus a sideways travel reduction as well. Very happy with it, nice, short, positive shift, feels great.

Thanks for that Mystic Rado. I've emailed Dieselgeeks for one but there's only 2 kits shown on their website - Mk4 and 6 speed. Fingers crossed.

 

 

Is there a Neumann one? I have one of those on my Mk2 and it works v.well.

info on there...you need to move the pivot point , some cutting and welding is involved

[Anton Sobriquet 0]

That's very neat mod and not so difficult - just a bit of cutting and welding.

 

Looks like Dieselgeeks don't make them anymore, so it's either the B & M or DIY. Where's my torch......?

that only reduces the side to side movement...

Dieselgeeks have 9 of their short shift kits available, if anyone's interested.

These kits will be the last ones made, so if you're interested you need to hurry.
