Forge Short Shift Kit - Group Buy

[Greg Roles]

OK if you do want to take up the discount offer on bushes I have set up a coupon on my website to give you the discount and free post. Please PM me to get the code. Kangfu ol mate, get onto me, you were so keen to buy some you paid full price before I could set up the discount code,so I owe you a part refund!

Add the bushes you want to your cart, then go to the TOP right hand cart link, NOT the express right hand side "checkout" half way down the page.




On this first page you can enter the coupon code. The express checkout skips this screen. In the shipping screen you wll now have free post activated.




Those of you with later cars ( eg 08 plus ) and are worried about the install of the more complex "drill bit" bushing kit, PM me and I can send you my fitment video to see if it's something you feel you could do or not. The written instructions from 42DD are quite daunting at first glance. You can always just buy the bushes and leave out the pivot rebuild ( the hard part ), I can just get those bits from 42DD and do you a price. Would certainly be better than nothing! That said, the difference on my Golf with normal shift arms was night and day. Driving a stock car feels horrible now!

Cool as. So when do you need the money for the short shifter and bushes??

[Smead]

Yeah same same mate, Can you let me know when you need the money for the shifter & bushes?

Don't worry about it Greg, you are doing a great service for the VW community so you deserve any extra $ you get.

[Greg Roles]

Nope, I've set it up as credit on future orders mate, a deal is a deal!!

Appreciate the kind words all the same, just wait till you see what else I have in the pipeline to bring in : )

Hey Blitzen/Smead,

PM Greg for the discount code, and buy the bushes through the carformance.com.au website directly.

For the Forge short shifter, I will PM everyone the account details to deposit into once the official date for the group buy closes on Friday.

Had a look tonight when I was putting the stock airbox back in and looks a tad complicated... Think I will give the shift mechanism a miss but the end links look not too bad

Guys, call me chicken-*****, but I'm going to bail on this one.
As much as it's a steal price-wise, and the excellent level of support by Greg, I'm pretty concerned about returning the car to stock (or as close to) when it comes time to move one.
At the end of the day, even if they are long(ish) throws, I'm just happy I get to decide when they move
Auto's can go to hell.

Very much looking forward to peoples reactions and fitting experience (someone do a thread!)

You want a write up, not much to say really, quite simple modification, one part comes off and the new one goes on, except for the 42DD bushes have to be drilled out a little.
I found a drill bit which was like .001mm bigger than the hole in the bush, sprayed a bit of WD40 and it took like 4 seconds to get the drill bit through, it fits like a glove now

It's the fact that it looks like I need to remove the battery to get at the shift mechanisim... The bushes look not too bad to get to after you remove the airbox, I am just not sure I have the tools to get at all the little clips etc.
