Shift Knobs

Just installed mine! I may raise it a bit as it’s quite low.

When it says "backordered" on Raceseng's site, does that typically mean a week, a month, six months? Anyone know from experience?

Took about a month to get a beaded slammer in December last year.

Wrapped mine to match dashboard vinyl wrap. Happy with the result!

Bro you have a problem What number is that one?

I know

It’s number 8 of the aftermarkets… just trying to find that perfect feel I’m after I guess, pretty sure the feel I’m chasing will not be accomplished with this transmission in reality

Shoulda went auto, image all the saved money and stress,haha

I'm pretty happy with mine. Roy was great to deal with.

I’m going to do shifter bushings when I put a new clutch in. I agree this gearbox feels subpar.

You've just got to get yourself a CAE Ultra Shifter and be done with it.

The current setup functions just as the cae - only thing you are getting extra from them is changing the cables in which the make up and function of those cables are the same as stock.

My issues not the external elements of the setup any longer… it’s the internal design of the shifter forks or even the gear crowns (

)
that’s where the notch and rare lockout/grinding moments transpire from - honesty my only real complaint is 1-2 gear, nothing else bothers much.

Did you swap out your forks to the steel ones?

 

[El_bigote_AJ]

Didn’t have to, when I opened it - they were all steel (except reverse of course)

I wonder when VW made the switch. Since mine is a 2016, I doubt they are all steel.
