Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 12, 2004 Is that some kind of sequential shifter? Well, sequenatial shift at least but the box isn't, or is yours seq aswell? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted November 12, 2004 No, it's not a sequential shifter. It's what the VW Motorsport cars use on the 02A and 02J boxes (you can use it on an 02M too I believe) That CNC machined billet alloy shifter and the massively uprated cables give the notoriously crap shifter of the 02a a feel more akin to a rod change box. very direct and precise, plus there's no chance of you accidentally selecting reverse as you have to use 2 hands and manually pull the safety locking pin back to get reverse. I probably won't be using it in the corrado though, it's for the Golf. I've got a mk5 golf shifter for the corrado, just need the mk4 02J shifter tower to fit in my gearbox now. a "real" sequential box is about £10K from quaife...... :shock: Got an 02A B&M shifter for sale if anyones interested?

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 12, 2004 Ah OK, cheers for the explanation Paul. Yeah indeed, "true" sequential boxes i.e. you *have* to go up and down through the gears, cost a flippin fortune.....and they whine like a Metro :lol: Can you get helical cut Sequentials or are they not man enough? Actually, thinking about it...is helical cut sequential even possible? What's the difference between the MK5 shifter and the Corrado one? I don't actually find the C shifter too bad to be honest, not in my car at least. OK it has a bit of a long throw but it's far from sloppy and vague....

PhatVR6 0 Posted November 12, 2004 Mine is semi stright cut. still helical, just at a shallower angle. more strength, more noise. but it's a good noise, on par with a charger easily. it sound like a touring car, 5th howls. The mk5 shifter, looks abit like a mk4 one. a lot sturdier. trust me, the 02a design is utter w4nk, it's horrendous, thankfully the corrado one is the best of the bunch as it's a slightly shorter shift from the factory.

beavis 0 Posted November 12, 2004 Got semihelical gears in our G40 slut track beast. Sounds quite agricultural, which is not a bad thing. That shifter is quite gucci.. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
