MK6 7sp DSG Shifter into MK5! Fingers crossed

I got the complete shifter mech with knob for $100.
There was no modifying the cable, it was a simple as unbolting one cable end that connects the cable to the gear selector on the tranny and using the original one.

So if I order 5K2 713 025 BC that's all I need?

Plust a shifter knob, boot and trim etc?

I can find that some model Jetta's with 6 speed autos have have the same shifter that was originally in mine.
So going of that the any 7 speed DSG Shifter should work????

Any chance you could get me this part for similar money?

I doubt I could get another one anywhere that price.

I doubt I could get another one anywhere that price.

Why is that?

Why is that?

Because a top bloke who works for another shop we deal with on a daily basis did me a solid.

So I decided to go with the GTI/R32 knob that started this thread but instead of using the black
selector panel I modified the standard chrome one to take the raised chrome section of the GTI/R32 panel.
Whats that old saying? If it don't go chrome it!
On a side note, if any one breaks there handbrake lever blind the MK5 is the same part as the MK6 also.

I think he might be going in a slightly different direction now. I showed him the Audi shifter that I put into my Jetta and he kind of liked the look of it, so he bought one on eBay. Aesthetic is just as good, install is easy and expense is minimal.

Hey Buckets where is the link or detail for the Audi one?
