What I want to know if any body has changed there standard dsg shifter to one out of a gti/r32,from what I can see you need to turn the lockout shaft 90 dergees.Is it possible to it apart do this or do you need to get the hole shift mechanism out of a gti/r32 ?

Welcome to the forum Rob :cool:

I haven't heard of anyone having done this before from this site. It is quite an unusual procedure to have to do. Are you thinking of doing this yourself?

I take it you've got a golf other than a gti/r32 then? I thought all the DSG shifters were the same? apaert from the weird golfball sh!t in the ed30

Hurdy I am thinking of doing this depending on the cost.I think that the shifter  out of a gti/r32 looks better

Like you said, the only difference is the lockout button, but I can't really see that it would be much different underneath apart from maybe the connectors. If you went far enough into the shifter I'd lay bets that there would come a point where the connectors matched up to common parts. As for cost, I don't know :undecided:
