Short Shifter

[Martin M]

It doesn't make the stick shorter, just how much it travels.

cheers for that

Looking at the TT and Neuspeed versions, does anyone know how much shorter the Neuspeed one is over the TT, so to speak?

forge are in the process of making one with standard push down

Its been in the making for a while and I would get one when its released but if I could get one of the ebay ones and the TT one it would give even shorter shifts and be cheaper

I think the TT one reduces it up to 20% and the Neuspeed up to 40%.

I have both an ebay copy of the B&m shifter and a Audi TT shifter fitted. With the ebay copies you cannot use a push down gear knob it's lift up only. It was a pain to fit took me about 2hrs in all. This is the one i bought but i got it abit cheaper:

It didn't come with a gear knob, i bought a richbrook lift up reverse knob separately.

The TT shifter was a piece of cake to fit, i bought it directly from Audi it cost £24. In all it cost me £65 for the two shifters and the gear knob.

Shifting is vastly improved over standard and it's just as smooth as the oem setup not at all knotchy.

Heres some pictures of mine:

Would the standard gearknob fit the 2fast2cool kit? Also is that defo the kit on your car as it does not list ibiza as a fitment?

No standard gear knobs definately do not fit these types of kits.

Even the B+M one changes it to lift up reverse.

I have the same setup as you J3RV X, even down to the gear knob.


Just wait til the lift up revese plastic knob wears, it'll soon get on your nerves. Easy to sort out tho.

What plastic knob? the knob is metal.

 

[PhilW]

Pull up the gear gaiter. You'll see the plastic part which changes it to lift up reverse.

Its like a threaded part with a push fit plastic boss on the end.

 

[ttothec]

how did u get the standard gear knob off the standard leather gaitor??

 

[Martin M]

There's a little clip under it that you have to loosen/remove.

Oh yes i know what part you mean. Has yours worn down then?

black plastic cylinder shaped thing? about 1.5cm long?

 

[Martin M]

Stupid question, but how do you convert it from a push down, to a lift up reverse? Does it lock into place when you lift it up or do you have to hold it in reverse?

Cheers.

The standard gear stick has a push down mechanism, when you install the after market shifter you do away with the whole push down oem assembly. When selecting reverse you just pull up the shaft (seen in the pics above) and put it in reverse, once it's in reverse it's locked into place.

Ahh cool, cheers. That's what i thought but wasn't sure if there was anymore to it than that.
