Dont think the A3 one will fit as I think the cabe ends are different.
Just uploading pics to photobucket
Standard shifter bracket
You can see where the back of the pin has been rivited over to stop it coming out. I ground it back a few mm so that I could knock the pin out with a punch.
Like this.
Used a punch to drive the pin out. Pin out.
Drilled and tapped the pin to M5 (just for belts and braces realy).
Drilled new hole @ 8mm, the od of the pin was 8.13mm so its a nice interferance fit. New pin position.
Original Vs short shifter

thats the difficult bit then. that was a genius idea well done.
i can see why you havent welded that in place that shifter bracket is nasty metal to have to weld on.

Actualy, once I attacked it with the grinder it looked like stainless steel so I could of TIG welded it with no problems.
thats good to know. i dont suppose you got any photos of the opposite side of the shifter after the work?
looks great
so how does your oe bit look different to the 6 speed one found on the newer cupras?
i like the idea

nice one thank you.
im definitely doing this soon will have to get someone else to do the drilling and threading of the pin though.

Do you mean the leon cupra 6 speed?
If so its because the pin that connects to the cable is different.

40% reduction!!!!
how long did it take to do?
how easy was it to get the pin out of the backet?

did you have to drill this also, how did you get that off?

On the pluss side, there is loads of room to do the side to side bracket.

It prob took about 40 mins to do. Very easy to do if you have the right tools.
Grind off the back of the pin where it is rivited over then knock the pin out with a punch.
The hardest part is actualy getting the cable off the ball/pin. I used a 13mm spanner and put it inbetween the shifter bracket and cable end and forced it off the ball/pin. No drilling required to remove it.
I might try the side to side one next week.

so only the forward backward movement of the gearstick has been reduced 40 %?
the side to side movement is controlled the plate connection and has not changed
