[Dazboss]

Will it fit non S3 ?

 

[Mr.Blonde]

Is there one for the A3?.

I have a cheapo one from ebay - well, I say should of been cheapo at £59 delivered, but I won it for 99p.

Sweet.

I love it also, my shift throw is set to be the smallest it can be

Hmmmm, that doesn't look like a short shift for the 1.8T IMO.

It should look like the one on the left in this link:

[Mr.Blonde]

yeah i thought that to mate,so who makes one for a 1.8T AGU on 1998 year?

 

[djarchive]

Exactly the same as above. Got one on my S3. (Shortened throw ie: Up+ down)


Love it love it love it

OK, not sure on where you can buy one off the shelf, but you can fit the TT Shifter which gives you a shorter gear throw. It's just not adjustable.

Lots more info on this thread on Vortex http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/p/209780/1356402.aspx

Am I reading this correctly, will the selector from a MK4 R32 fit an 8L S3 and reduce the throw all for the princely sum of £25...? Or am I confused....

 

[Dazboss]

I cant work it out ether bud ?

As I read it (from the thread on the above link) the R32 shifter would work

To be fair, for £25 it's certainly worth a go
