Simeon 0 Posted May 4, 2017 Hi all, doing the Mk4 shifter conversion on my '92 G60 using the Polo housing. Now the Mk4 gear stick isn't threaded, so I want to sort that, but I've also read that the stick is too high. I can't compare it because I've already sold the standard Corrado one Anyone done it who can tell me how much you need to chop off? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted May 4, 2017 Standard VR is 7" from the centre side to side pivot (the front back pivot is just above this) on the stick to the top of the knob. I could measure bottom of the interior mirror to the top of the knob if that helps? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted May 4, 2017 Bottom of the mirror to the top of the knob 19 inches Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spuddy 10 Posted May 4, 2017 I run the same setup, I do find it quite high, I am planning to chop.it slightly and return it to more original length. Its is a stretch for the gaitor at the moment when in 2nd. Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simeon 0 Posted May 4, 2017 Thanks for the replies, I'll mount it and use the measurement from bottom of mirror. Spuddy, if you find yourself in the Corrado with a tape measure (as you do ) it'd be interesting to know distance from bottom of mirror. What gear knob have you used, MK4 one?

Pics in 2nd, 4th and neutral. Bad camera angle, the measurements to top of gearstick ball with standard knob is 180mm Distance from bottom of mirror, 425mm Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
