Good stuff mate, I spoke to Vince earlier and he agreed with you to for the billet ones , also agreed no need to change the cables which I'm happy about because of cost . What you want though mate is that clip on the bottom of the shaft and the tube but you cant get it, hopefully yours will be in good condition. Think you might have the bottom shaft clip furthest bag right top - where you get that from ?

Think it came with this kit - rhat's where the clips came from anyway - if they are the right ones:

Search functionality is a bit rubbish on the actual site.

Manufacturer:

- GEMA Motorsport

 

suitable for:

- VW Corrado Bj. 1988 - 1995

- MKG: KR / 9A / PG / ABV

 

Description:

The shift path shortening is for VW cable manual gearbox (02A). The standard shift gate is disassembled and replaced by the new shift gate. The shortened shifting lever and another redirection shorten the shifting distance by 35%, since the Corrado already has a shorter shifting distance. The new shift unit has a thread for the shift knob of M12 x 1.5.

 

Technical specifications:

- 50% reduction in switching travel

- M12 x 1.5 shift knob thread

 

Assembly instructions:

- no welding work on the bodywork necessary.

- 1: 1 exchange for the series part.

 

Scope of delivery:

- 1x switching path shortening including assembly instructions

Update don't buy this sits to high in a corrado to work smoothly- go for Dave short shift kit or 02J tower change- also a Mk 4 handbrake and gaiter is a nice mod will need a little modding to fit. . The short shift is advertised for a Corrado but the seller expects you to bend the ball housing down which is not  happening on my car- seller told me in Germany on phone on all VR6 models they sit a little lower so work perfect but just Corrado sits higher )so why don't you put that on sale description ) hey ho !!!

Fender?  Could you advise where you got the bushings from at all please? Struggling to find them.  Dont need the milled bracket spacers, just the nylon fittings.  Thanks

Let me take a look through my emails and I will check - I think a combination of dieslegeek and fleabay, but I will see if I can find some receipts.

useful info, many thanks.  Didnt realise they charge that much just for essentially machined plastic!  Although the Autohaus one seems good value.  I'll see if they're trading under a different name

Yep, not cheap - kits for the Mk2 are cheap as chips, and you could even get a refurb/repair kit direct from VAG at one point.
