Today I fitted a Boomba Racing Short Shift to my GTI.Installation was super easy and took less than 10 minutes. The adapter plate reduces the throw by 28%.The results are great! Feels really good, super smooth and very precise. Well worth the £93.50 asking price IMHO.
VW sell a part to do this and it costs less than €40 online from Germany

I think I've found it.Part #8J0-711-046-E Looks a bit more complicated to fit and only reduces the throw by 10-15% max.The Boomba Racing adaptor plate can be found here in the UK;https://www.sico-developments.co.uk/collections/volkswagen/products/volkswagen-mk7-golf-gti-short-shift-transmission-adapter?variant=27419652232No parts to remove and super easy to fit, armed with this information before purchasing I think I would of still gone for the Boomba one as the many reviews are so good.Click the link below for more info and videos from Boomba Racing.http://www.boombaracing.com/2015-volkswagen-gti-golf-r-short-shift-transmission-adapter/
I'm unsure.Found the info here;https://shopdap.com/store/oem-euro-short-shifter-8j0711046e.htmlHaving just traded in a 2013 SEAT FR the gearbox on my GTI feels approx. 10% shorter, perhaps this part number is already fitted to our European cars?
