Jim Bowen 1 Posted November 13, 2014 I too am wondering this. The shift tower. I bought some parts but not sure if they are for that or the bit in car? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted November 13, 2014 Pretty sure the bracket with bushes that sits on top the gearbox is still available, but don't think the shift cable end parts are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philuk 0 Posted November 13, 2014 thats the bit i mean with all the bushes etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilfuzzer 1 Posted November 14, 2014 As sean says I think hes right. I yhink its fairly pricey though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted November 14, 2014 Can it be rebuilt at all? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) there's not much that can be done, if you really want an improvement then either look out for some very late mk3 16v/VR parts or go the whole hog and fit a mk4 gearlever mech and shift tower 100 times better some lever and gearbox shift tower info in here: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=37728&highlight=gear+shift Edited November 14, 2014 by davidwort Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveo29 0 Posted November 14, 2014 £50 -100 would get you a o2j mk4 era tower /cables &bracket/shifter which is way way better than what the cars came with , self ajusting too and short shifters available if you want them id tried re bushing and fitting late mk3 parts , but the o2j stuff really is worth doing cupra 20vt or big block polos have the correct housing to bolt straight in , no mods Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted November 14, 2014 :lol: I've only just fitted the Dave Shortshift kit, i take it that would be no good if i had O2J stuff? (not even tried it out yet) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveo29 0 Posted November 14, 2014 no you replace it all with the more modern gear , all the way from gearstick to the tower whatver you do it you wont get it as nice as the o2j stuff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveb142 10 Posted November 14, 2014 I'm using mk4 golf gear selector and tower with polo diesel casing. Bolts straight in. Easy to do, great feel to drive with! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stormchaser 0 Posted December 23, 2014 My gearbox end tower keeps jumping out of alignment if I throw in reverse quickly😞. Seems like there is a piece missing . Any ideas? Or has anyone got all the part numbers required to change to mk4 set up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
