Where did you buy it from? I only found short shifts for 2.0 TFSI gearbox and nothing for other gearboxes.

Mine is a 6 speed. I bought this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350614838511. It was mentioned in a topic about short shifters in this forum: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,90378.msg912571.html.
Maybe someone here can say if it's compatible with your 6 speed gearbox as well. Maybe comparing the part numbers of yours and other engines.

Some really good progress here, like the suspension mods!! :)
Not sure if the 6 speed shifter will fit the 5/6 speed boxes in the 1.9 engine as believe they are different but give it a bash.....

Thank you! :notworthy:
1.4 TSI only come with 6 speed manual transmissions so I am a bit worried that it might not work.

Thanks Jay! :smiley:
Talked with my mechanic and he advised me to return the generic short shifter. Personally he thinks a good driver can shift fast enough with a normal shifter and the risk of mis-shifting and ruining the gearbox with the short shifter doesn't compensate.
He told me the short shifter would fit, and since he fitted the Sachs reinforced clutch he must know what's my gearbox like.
I'm going to order the OEM "short" shifter from the GTI Ed. 30/R32 (8J0711046E) and the metal side to side bracket part from the Leon (1J0711202J) and whashers (1J0711067L). Adding the 42 DD bushes should do be enough.
Also, today ordered from deAutoKey a complete interior LED kit. It's my first buy from the USA. Their LED keep the dimming effect that I like in the interior lighting.
