Thinking if getting a short shift kit.
Are they worth getting?? Do they make much difference??
If so, what's the most popular kit?
Cheers
-
Get an eBay one, just as good as the Forge or Neuspeed and half the price. Also get the 42 Draft Design Bushes. :happy2:
-
One of the best mods and nice and cheap too - do it :happy2:.

OEM S3/TT is the one i got, feels 20% shorter / stiffer with OEM feel
-
Did I once read the ED30 has the same short shifter as the S3?

Must've been a dream.

If it's a dream, and you were in it, does that make it a nightmare? :rolleye:

:signLOL:
I have the feeling that the info in that thread is wrong. I'm nearly sure the ed30 does not have a short shift as standard. Can someone with a brain clarify this please?

Just checked my ED30 and it has 8J0711051 - in ETKA this is listed for an Audi TT and after a few supercessions, comes out at 8J0711046E.
Will try take the linkage off this week and see what the stud looks like.

The plot thickens. :confused:

A Google search of that part number brings up a TT forum of owners who paid for a short shift and got a standard linkage :signLOL:
Might just buy one, if I already have a shortshift, then I'm sure they'll be someone wanting it.
-
Done mine last week on my Ed30,one that came off ended in 051 B s3 that went on ends in E
part number that ends in 051 is for just the Lever while the complete assembly ends in 046, both part numbers are present on the lever, so very confusing.
To clarify 8JO 711 051 B was my original arm and the new one was 8J0 711 051 E, however I ordered 8J0 711 046 E which is complete lever with the Black cable change spring attachment and clips already mounted on a pivot that is closer to the spline.
Definatly a shorter throw, I now don't poke the climate buttons if I get lazy with the fingers,and reverse is nearer to 1st laterally.
Less than £30 from VW and five mins to fit. Great Mod .

Had the following set up on both my FR TDI and Cupra R
Forge shortshifter - set on shortest
Forge sideshifter - not worth the money but on shortest
42DD bushes - excellent mod
AKS Tuning bushes - alex threw these one :congrats: made a difference aswell
i love how mechanical it feels now

Where are the bushes fitted? what improvement do they make?
-
you will have to ask Alex, i wasnt there when he fitted them, they go on the gearbox i think though. TFSIMike has got them also :happy2:
-
They're at the end of the linkages where they connect to the shifter plate thingys. OE are plastic/rubber and the 42dd ones are brass/aluminium (I think). Gives a nice direct mechanical feel.
-
Its not them ones as i already have them, the AKS ones are some extra ones
-
Sorry my bad.
-
so are the oem tt ones as short as the aftermarket kits?
-
No Russ-The after market ones are a lot shorter knacking in gear changes but I find the tt/s3 one just right for me
-
Ive got the Forge set up set on shortest and would still like it shorter
-
anyone in/near leeds with one fitted?

anyone in/near leeds with one fitted?
if you don't get any luck-try mine at harewod house :happy2:
-
Am I right in thinking that once a short shift has been fitted, it takes more force to get into gear as the pivot point has shortened??
-
Cheers Andy. I was hoping to get it done at the end of the month but struggling to find one on ebay. The one posted earlier isn't available for gti
-
Damo made me one months ago-just never fitted it-if you fancy a drive up to Richmond you can take it a try it and pay me later if its ok
-
be a man and get a cae shifter :smiley:
-
cheers but think i'll just bite the bullet and get the forge one
-
Changed mine today for the 046E version, difference can barely be felt to be honest.

Is that the oem tt one?
-
Thing the tt/s3 is the same as the Ed 30 shifter Dave
-
According to a good few posts I've read the s3 & edition 30 shifters are the same.

Yep looks like this is the case after all, was in a rush fitting it yesterday and never put them side by side, no wonder it feels the same :wink:
Guess one of them is going to be for sale.
-
Damo made me one Dave if you fancy a swap
-
I'm ok with it mate, cheers. It was fine before, just tried it out of noseyness :happy2:
-
:signLOL:no worries
-
so does the ed30 have a shorter shifter than gti? Just ordered both forge shifters today
-
