That's gone out to you, I'm running very low on stock though so I can't take more orders for a day or 2, but I'll let everyone know when I've more!

Aaaaannnddd I'm in stock again, let the orders flow! What better way to show a significant other you care this christmas than with a new upgraded relay shaft bush?




Disclaimer: Above significant other refers to the 4 wheeled variety and I accept no liability for relay shaft bush incurred relationship setbacks.

Just fitted mine with a gsf bush kit and a weighted shift rod, WOW what a difference its got rid of nearly all the play and feels like a new car.

If you haven't done this mod go and do it, a couple of hours and a few pounds is well worth it.

Hi guys,

You'll have to excuse my ignorance - i only collected my first MK2 GTI 8v on thursday so my mechanical knowledge of this car is pretty much zip.

I'm keen to try and improve the gearchange of my new toy, but i've read through this thread and can't work out whether i need to buy just this bush or this one plus the 'bush kit' from GSF? And if i'm doing that much, am I worth getting the weighted shift rod too or are they not up to much?

Tar muchly

Hi Scott,

You don't need either to install the other, the GSF kit contains a lot of bits that wear down over time, but it doesn't contain the relay shaft ball - if you want one of those you have to buy the whole relay shaft assembly off VW (expensive), so I started making them as an alternative. So basically you can install one or the other if you want, but I strongly reccommend both!

A weighted shift rod is a different story, they only change the "weight" of the gear change, and do nothing for taking any sloppiness away. It's basically a matter of preference rather than an improvement, most people seem to prefer a heavier gearchange, personally I don't - I'd spend the money on making up a short shifter.
