Hi all,

 

I had a TTS short shifter fitted to my old mk2 vRS, have my mk3 nearly 3 years now and still miss the shift action on the old car (made worse after I recently drove my b5 S4 which had been years in storage but has a lovely short throw). Is there an OEM+ option for the mk3 like something from a Golf R or something else on the MQB platform? VW Racing parts have advised me that the VWR short shifter they offer is out of production and I’m not sure about fitting the adjustable forge item as I’d prefer something OEM. 

 

Thanks im advance,

Alan

yup there is

i have the shortshifter kit from boomba racing  (for the golk mk7) fitted to my 2016 vrs

(short throw shifter and the internals bit)

it's great!

when i had the airbox out out for fitting the quickshift kit i also did the clutch return valve mod

i only fitted the gearknob a year after the quickshift bit and now wish i had done both at the same time

The TTS shifter that fitted the mk2 also fits the mk3. I've had mine fitted over a year with no issues

Great to know! Part number 8J0711046E I presume?

Is this shorter than the oem mk3 then? advert seems to state its only the case for USA cars?

I've gone ahead and ordered the 8J0711046E from Darkside developments, £48 delivered.

 

Will see how I get on.

Let me know how you get on please  as I'm interested in getting one from my local Audi dealer aswell.

Well I got it fitted, it was an absolute doddle to change over.

 

Didn't feel that much shorter to be honest but it's more noticeable on a drive. Isn't drastically shorter but does make it feel more precise and slick, Well worth 45 quid and 30 mins messing about on your drive. Looks almost completely OEM bar the Audi badge - should be warranty safe.

 

Just noticed the varying part numbers on this thread and the one on the part below. So beware of that

Ah just googled part numbers and all makes sense

 

Audi TT/S3 Short shift kit MQ350 - 8J0711046E (kit with end piece) - 8J0711051E (just the SS bracket)

Sounds good. So it's the 8J0711051E that I should order?

 

Audi quoted me 60€ for the other part number ending in 046E.

Well I got the whole lot off darkside developments for 42 plus delivery, so could try them?

 

I didn't use the plastic shifter cable adapter thing, just unclipped and used the existing one.
