get genuine TT short shifter for £25.. or a neuspeed one for £160.. the ebays ones are crap i would assume..

What's the difference between the TT and the neuspeed to justify that price difference...... All neuspeed gear is massively expensive, their catalogue is like a phonebook!!!

TT doesnt really reduce the throw by much just makes it more direct i believe.. and the neuspeed one reduces throw by about 45% and is adjustable i believe.. it is a good piece of kit from all accounts..

Do you have the neuspeed item? That's an awful lot of money IMO.... Also are the ARB's by them any good???

Probably can't afford to run their car anymore after fitting their gear  :laugh:   I'm not normally tight with car parts at all but that seems a lot even for me. Plus golfs are worth less and less every day so it's a false economy.

modding cars has always been a false economy bud you always lose more than you put in...

i have already bought the one from ebay, and its exactly the same as the B&M one.
i have used this seller on ebay many times with previous cars and have never had a problem with the quality. most of my track ready mx5 parts came from them.
its just a case of iv never fitted a short shift lever to a front wheel drive car, they have always been rear wheel which is much easier.
