Hi all,

Hopeing to tap into the wealth of machanical knowledge on Briskoda. I've come across this short shifter which says it will work on the Mk6 Golf 5 speed gear box which I belleive is the gearbox I have?

This would be a a great little mod if it fits: http://www.dieselgeek.com/MK5_5_Speed_VW_Short_Shifter_p/ss-mk5-mk6sigma5.htm

Cant just figure out what that does off the link.

Is it like a quickshifter on a bike? Cuts the power momentarily so you can shift without the use of a clutch?

Basically reduces the throw of the gear changes so they're nearer together and therefore quicker

What Toxicvrs said, shortens the gear shift allowing for faster gear change.

Ooh right. I see.

I think my idea was better ahaha (:

I have one on my blue Yeti.

I don't like it.

It may reduce the length of the throw, but it also makes it a little trickier to make sure you're 100% in gear because there is less movement of the gearstick.

Not sure saving 0.1 second per gear change is worth it myself.
