Improve your gear shift (parts fitted today)

noone, it's very simple. Airbox out, and simply replace 3 bushings. 30 min job. Go for it, you will like it. This has been seen on vwvortex.

These are a good thing guys, ive done them on other cable shift applications, very similar to the tyrol brake mod on the Mk4 does away with the movement .

So it should be done similar to this: DIY: replacing shift bracket bushings | Volkswagen Rabbit/GTI/Jetta/GLI MkV DIY & FAQ ?

[insanekiwi]

RoSonic,
That's correct. I would highly recommend it as Jmac concurs. And as tested by me, these fit our cars just fine.

I just ordered a set - looks like a worthwhile mod for improving the shift

Thanks for the info.

If someone is going to Order a set and lives in Syd, please grab me a set and we can split the freight cost.

I think the freight is next to nothing from memory

These are tiny metal bushes - I think they fit in a normalish evelope, they are aluminium and don't really weigh anything. If anyone had a lathe you could knock some up in about 20minutes - if you knew what size they were.

Thanks insanekiwi. I've just ordered a set. USD$20 and it did say shipping cost is included in the price for North America, but the checkout didn't ask for extra for shipping cost for my address, which is Australia, oh well.

[insanekiwi]

Your welcome, just glad to share. I paid $20US including shipping to NZ. Don't worry it will get there. Took 7 days for mine.
