Does anyone has a shortshifter?

Is easy to fit? Are any downsides? I drove my friend's MK2 VRS 6 speed short shift and I love it

All infos are welcomed

I have the Forge one and I really like it.

Combined with replacement solid shifter bushes it has made the gearchange feel much better.

Man,your website is top benchmark...

One question....how do you remove this from the cable?

It's really easy - you push the knurled bit up to the square end compressing the spring and the middle part pops apart, allowing the whole end to slide off.

i have a ebay shortshifter. much shorter throw and a lot less play. finding a suitable gearknob was hard though. just fitted superpro dogbone bushes too, makes the change smoother .

ive been lookin at these too

Some one has fitted one of these, can't remember who though, pretty sure it was a black VRS

i have one, i fitted it myself, but its a pain to do, need proper access from underneath really.

Both myself and Oet have these fitted.

Very nice mod. B1tch to fit DIY on the vRS, mega-b1tch to fit on the 4x4 (prop-shaft & exhaust in the way)

Has to be fitted from underneather. Exhaust and heat shield block access ...

I did a DIY guide also on the Forge quick shifter.

Again Rob's site was a big help..

Pic of the standard VRS gear shifter and linkage

Forge Short Shifter with the 3 optional fitting adapters(depending on which one you have fitted to the car)

Difference between the 2 gear shifters

Original shifter removed

Forge short shifter fitted and in place

Easy job to do and happy with results, Gear shift is a lot less gear throw

Next was the Verdict Motorsport gear shift bushings

I heard about these whilst browsing the VW forums and also our Rob's website as he has these fitted. Ordered from this US website at approx $22 did not break the bank so I gave it a go.

Can see the original rubber mountins on the left verses the solid Verdict mountings on right.

Removing the originals is easy, I memoved the selector cables off the gear linkinage arm as i was replacing that with the forge and was going to do a linkage adjustment anyway. Then I just undid bolts and lift bracket up.

removed the original rubbers

Placed in the verdict replacements

bolted down

Then I reset the gear box linkage

good vid here which is helpful.
