Will an audi TT, S3 version work? What part number? Thanks!

i bought this part from other source ... and will see if it fits on my car
 
i got confirmation from my mechanic (the one that is curently tuning my car to stage2)
it fits, but he mounted a few short shifters and people fked the syncros of the gearbox.
so he refuses to mount me the short shifter.

however i will mout it myself or will go to another mechanic .. because i am probbably a better driver than the other guys that screwed their syncros, probably i revmatch better and not force gearstick
it will be mounted in 1-2 weeks
 
Personally I think short shifters on 6 speed boxes are a PoS. They feel notchy and make it horrible to drive.
Save your money and dont ruin whats already a perfectly good gearbox.

thanks for imput
i will put a short shifter in it anyhow, because i already bought it for 60 euro.
i will do a shifter cable adjustment and will let u know about the notchyness after
 
mounter the golf 4 R32 short shifter , it feels very litle notchy, at first didnt realise it was on ... but shortened the shifting a bit.
the alignment of shifter cables is very importand
here is a video from a pro how to:
 
i have the short shifter for about 4000km and it feels fine, alot more notchy when cold and fine when warm. it is summer now so i think in winter it might be a problem. anyhow i have thinner 75w80 oil in the gearbox... am curios how it will be in winter

i had friends drive the car and they missshifted bc of the shortness... for me personally i had no problems
 
That must be because you are a better driver than most people?

I found out that when upshifting in a manual vag vehicle ,it shifts better if u hang on the throttle for a little bit longer than normal.
...also downshift revmatch
