Quickshift kits

[Foodjunky]

Has anyone got one of these fitted to their s3's and if so is there much of a diference, or does anyone know of problems after fitting them?

 

[Shy19s]

there are quite a few different kits on the market!

I been told if you go to any Audi dealer and pick up a TT shifter that it reduces the throw by quite alot, havnt got round to it yet, but been told its a nice easy cheap mod.

Isnt that for the 5 speed box's though?

Anyone got a part number?, fancy one for mine.

Dan, dont quote me on this but the TTs did come both in a 6speed and a 5 speed, and either way it shouldnt make a difference as its just the bracket to the linkage IIRC, its not like the selector etc..

should be fine, if someone does have the part no. that would be useful!

I was looking at these today on the Forge website, about £60 i think.

I've got a diesel geek short shift kit, definately reccomend getting one!

 

[Foodjunky]

Yeah it was the forge one I was looking at, did you fit your own Olly P?

VAGTech fitted the HPA Short Shift to my S3 just after I got it (coming up for 3 years ago). One of the best mods on the car and I've had no problems with it.

[Foodjunky]

Anyone know if the tt item fits the s3?

 

[1animal1]

[fran-s3]

I heard its there exactly the same piece fitted on the facelift S3 and the TT, is that not true then? (APS)

 

[Dani_B19]

Mine came with some comprehensive instructions, took 35 mins or so, fairly straight forward job tbh, I'm no mechanic!
