    Short Shift

    looking at getting a short throw kit, i'm hearing good things about the HPA. Anyone have any other advice? I'm also looking at getting a complimenting shorter shifter?

    cheers

    I've heard the best option by far is to get the OEM Audi TT kit.

    Same engine, same gearbox, shorter throw etc - I've heard the linkages are fairly very susceptable to breaking so i'd much rather use an OEM kit I know won't break anything!

    If you find a place that sells them at a resonable price let me know! Maybe we can get a few guys together and split shipping?

    OEM sounds pricey but i'll have a look into it, cheers. The HPA kit is about $150 and is at the box end. These are the reviews I was eluding to:

    Then their is the shifter side of things, i trust the B&M name but they aren't here and will need to be shipped so prob around the $400 mark for this:

    cheers dboo

    was it good? had you tried any others?

    the word from the other forum i put in there is they are pretty similar, aside from the variable adjustment, and the HPA is cheaper.

    any HPA users got a couple of cents?

    I've had the HPA one in my R for ages, very happy with it and I'm using it on the shortest throw. Speak to Dragan at Inmotive http://www.inmotive.com.au/ he sourced mine for me.
