lewvw 10 Posted July 10, 2013 I like the sound of this mod, could i inquire if there's a difference in feel between Dave's modded version compared to that god awful ARZ piece of (130Euro) garbage?? Hopefully the gearstick won't 'bottom out' and hit the bottom metal plate under the gearstick.. Worst piece of crap i've ever bought so now i'm back with the original stick. Chime in whoever has one fitted. No problems with these. Best mod I have, it feels factory just shorter throw. How it should have been. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wbx6dan 10 Posted October 29, 2013 Hi Dave I have fitted a shifter I bought from cazza today and although I have probably a worn tower and sloppy cables was hoping for a little more I see the 20% reduction as standard what can you do for me? I saw a contact me for requirements. Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wbx6dan 10 Posted October 30, 2013 I have the one I took off ready and waiting, I reckon I have about 2 1/2" either way 5" overall travel. My Mk1 golf has a later gearbox with a tower but has just under 2" travel either way which feels much nicer can you match that? and if so when could you squeeze me in ? cheers Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have to do some working out for that reduction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daves16v 1 Posted November 15, 2013 Right it's getting to the point where I can't supply these anymore due to 'return' shifters not being returned. As I've said before, please either return them for a £10 refund (cheapest return postage) or if you want to keep it then let me know so that I can strike you off my 'not returned' list. Thanks.

vagstuff 13 Posted January 1, 2014 I recently had the privilege of sorting some mods & upgrades with Dave's excellent bespoke parts, as well as paying him for his fitting care & expertise. The parts were : 1] short shifter == just great & decisive now :dance: 2] handbrake tunnel bracket == no more sqeaks or rattling :clap: 3] door handle repair kit == now solid 'actions' again, and great preventative maintenance The high quality of his design & fabrication of each of these bespoke updgrade solutions is already well documented by other such highly satisfied Members, and I just want to respectfully add my own appreciative endorsement to those... ...my own privilege enbraced all aspects of the arrangement, from my initial enquiry through to his fitting expertise & care : :salute: Dave is a very cheery & affable 'Top Man' in terms of his communications, his encyclopedic knowlegde of our beloved steeds and his 'kid gloves' care of one's car with his fitting The totality of the whole experience culminated in a very enjoyable trip across Nottingham, and an then an ongoing, perpetual :cheers: :dance: :cheers: feeling of 'proper jobs' well done every time I'm near the car. So, it's a big "Thank You" from me, Dave, and I hope my very positive experience can help other would-be Members who are contemplating any/all of these upgrades to decide to go ahead with any/all of these 'proper job' enhancements. Wishing you a happy & spirited 2014, and "Good Luck" with your work your own steed, Robert Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
