What a collection!

I am highly considering one of the Raceseng Titanium knobs (OrbTi or PolyTi).
How do you like the PolyTi? Anything you don't like about it?

So the knob itself - love love love the look, shape texture! Pure quality.

Unfortunately On the tall coolerworx shifter I realized the overhand type of grip it requires doesn’t feel right for that height but no doubt I think it would be silly perfect on the stock height since it’s setup for that height.

The weights really good too / not too heavy not to light, but If you want really heavy I would probably get the hydro or the chicane for that same tear drop Shape, unless you are wanting the spitfire look.

I think I’d be open to selling mine too - lol just unless you already have a raceseng adapter you’ll need one. The color I got was a sample only finish they tried out (bead blasted) it’s a pretty close match to the start engine buttons silver

How many people have you killed without a volume knob? It must be a high number, it’s clearly unsafe.

I appreciate the thorough response!

I am looking at the OrbTi in the spitfire finish. I’d like the knob height to be dropped a little bit from oem.

This thing is unbelievably good looking

Do they make one in red?

I don’t think so. They have beaded (no color with bead blast finish), black, and spitfire (pictured above).

The quality is unreal. I was looking for a shift knob for a long time and really didn’t like almost any of the available options. This thing was pricey, but I can say it was worth every penny.

Just got this in from Wc lathewerks. Hand made titanium. Cant wait to get it installed.

First thing I bought for my GTI weeks ago that I wish I looked more further into was the ECS Tuning Billet Aluminum shift knob. The shift knob is in place and does what it is suppose to however the top half of the knob(which is suede material) separated itself causing it to spin freely. Over the look anyway so I'll just get a different brand.

Nah that one would hurt on entry.



I have been cured… still rocking this and have even “just the tip” style ran one of the other ones for a day or such.

Now that I think about it… cured may not be the best word ?? cause I’ve started collecting parts to build a new exhaust to replace my perfectly Functional exhaust I already built.

And next week my new air bags/struts
Are showing up to replace my current ones that work fine ???

What's that old muscle car you have next to you? Is it a '68 Camaro?

Bottom mount 02M Version, (endlinks fit the 02q and the 0FB trans codes)

If you have a 7.5 you need to add a washer/spacer to the side to side end link, as Vw seemed to change that connection on the 7.5s.

I got mine from the N.A rep in Canada as did 2 others I recommended to them.

Sorry to necropost on 4 year old comment, but you seem to be one of a few people that had done this shifter and I'm planning on getting this soonish.

• Were you able to keep the rear A/C Vents with the shifter?
• Did you have to trim any of the plastic parts?
• How were you able to align your shifter cables, did you skip the transmission lock and just aligned it in first?

Yes AC Plastic pipe still routes through fine.
Yes the center console has Thai plastic bar up at the front spot of the shifter that connected across left to right you have to cut that section out to clear the shifter (it’s only like 1” out and fully concealed by the shifter boot/trim)
Yeah you don’t need to lock out the shifter to adjust with this.

Because this has the adjuster at the hand lever area that are basically “stops” you just get the car into gear and adjust the stops for 1/2 gate and 5/6 gate
