Does anyone now the part number of the mk7 golf R shifter arm?
5Q0711046K is the GTI part number - is the R the same?
Thanks

Unsure why you're asking (and I know this isn't answering your question) , but if you're looking to go down the OEM Short Shifter, it's an Audi TT part that fits and reduces the fore-aft movement of the gearstick.

The part I fitted to my PP was 8J0711046E, £45 from my local Audi dealer.

You can see the different position of the pin in the above that reduces lever movement. Although the part says 051E, you order 046E so it comes with the part that connects to the selector cable. Quick and easy to fit and really tightens up the feel of the gear change.

Yeah I have used the same part on my previous golf. It’s the same part number as the mk5 and mk6
Reason I ask I as I’m curious to find out what parts differ between the GTI, clubsport, R and S3

I was considering getting the boomba adapter for the shifter, but this seems to adjust the throw by a similar amount. Was it easy enough to install?
-
Yes - just remove the airbox, remove the clip holding the cable onto the pin, loosen the nut and pull off the arm
After refitting reset the cables by putting the lever into the ‘service’ position and taking up the slack on the cable ends that's about it.

Thats great :) thanks

I have picked up mine today and plan to fit it tonight. After fitting how do you reset the cables? Thanks
-
Got it fitted last night. It was an easy enough change, except getting the old arm removed from the spline drive. Such a difference it makes!. I'm very impressed with the feel of shifting now, and would recommend this mod as it's such good value and can be done within about 25 minutes.

Did you find out what to do with the cables?
-
I used to new linkage connector after installing the bracket. My dad cycled through the gears whilst I watched and everything seemed fine. All shifts felt great during the drive so I’m happy enough.
-
Same here when I fitted my Audi short shift upgrade. Kept the stick in neutral whilst sorking and it all went back together just fine. Shifts are so much better in feel.

If you pull the gaiter off you will see a hole between which you line up wil a hole in the stick - out a drill bit in to keep them aligned and then go back to the front of the car and realease the springs in the cable ends and this lets the cables free any tension or slack

I’m sure there’s a video on YouTube and a guide in another website by dieselgeek or someone
