Got the quickshift fitted yesterday am. Pretty reasonable price, £50 for the THS one, much cheaper than the forge and neuspeed versions. Saw the review about it in Redline last month where they fitted it in their mk1 tt. Their review was pretty positive so thought i'd give it a go. Got a local mechanic to do it cause I'm hopeless with this sort of thing-although to be honest after watching him do it I could definately do it myself. I may have to alter the setup slightly depending on what advice any of you's can give me, but if so I'll certainly be doing it myself this time.
Anyway, the mechanic who fitted it has just bought a standard mkv golf gti, and was asking about the mods/remap etc. He fitted it in about 40mins then took it for a spin and said it worked great and that he was definately going to have to get one after he got his golf remaped.
Before he drove it, he was sitting in the car going through the gears, and the changes seemed louder- kind of a little clunky, certainly more so than before, so anyone with a quickshift fitted to a mk2 leon, did you find this too?
The overall feeling is quite positive I have to say, feels nice with the throw being a lot shorter, I set it to the shortest throw possible, and the gear changes are ok, but they maybe dont engage just as easily as they did before...or maybe I'm just a little worried about having to force them as I dont want to wreck anything having changed something, you know?
Should I just change the setting slightly and see how it goes or is it normal for the gear changes to feel a little stiffer/more clunky after fitting a quickshift?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
