Title: shortshift kits
Post by: richie2480 on 04 October 2003, 18:38

I want to buy a short shift kit for my mk2 gti16v. Can anyone recommend one and are these kits easy to fit?

if your shifting is getting sloppy look under the bonnet at where the main shift rod joins into the gear linkage at the transmission. should be a ball shaped bit there called the relay shaft. about 30 quid at VW will get you a new one. piece of p!ss to change and tightens up the shifting alot.
