    Also has anyone tried the stock TT one from ECS?
    Stock feel but shorter would be nice but I guess the TT shifter will not reduce sideways shift

    the clutch isn't part of the gearshift so it doesn't change/get affected, it is the amount of movement in the stick inside the cabin, so you move it a shorter distance to get from 1st to 2nd etc

    Audi TT shifter from ECS is great. Makes changing gears much more enjoyable around town

    ive owned a couple of manuals in the past i've short shifted.. Mostly its been good, can occasionally have gating issues.

    I dont really find the gti box too sloppy though.

    Cable ends. I love my dieselgeek and can't recommend it highly enough to anyone!
