Title: mk5 gti quick shift - OE parts?
Post by: jimk04 on November 12, 2011, 05:54:18 pm

Having had an 02S 6 speed gearbox in my mk2 golf - I used a mk1 TT 6 speed part on top of the gear vox selector as a tried and tested method of shortenig the throw.

I foolishly ordered one of these for my new mk5 but have found out this afternoon that they are a mirror image of each other and so wont work.

Is there an OE linkage to shorten a mk5 gti throw - like I did to my last car - or is it aftermarket only?

Thanks

I believe that the ED30/S3 OEM shifter bracked gives a shorter throw that the standard GTI one. Prob best to get it confirmed though...

One from an Audi TTS works perfectly.

Is it shorter than the ED30/S3, Alex?

I dunno.  What's the part number of the ed30 shifter and I can check that against my spare tts one?

The TTS shifter part number is 8J0711046E

As it is an 8J part I would say its only fitted to the TT.

there is a short shift kit for all 8J TTs and i think for the S3 as well as a factory option.

looking at brochures would probably be your best bet
