Ex-Finesse Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Well I bought this, advertised for a mk6 (1995 onwards, no MK6 confusion here!) and it doesn't fit! It fits mk5s fine, but the gear linkage cases are different on the mk6. Support rod is also on the other side! It's fairly fragile, but it's lasting! I really ought to get the mk5 parts and do some swapping! The shift is fuckin' amazing!!!!!! Proper tiny shift! Come 'n av a go at Trax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 sounds class, the difference in shift between me 5b and the GTi is unbelievable, so one of them must be class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Finesse Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 Proper B&M jobbie Double declutching becomes a totally different game with one of these! Have to stop the gearstick in neutral while the clutch is up, can't move the 'stick smoothly. I got used to it quickly, feels like you're driving it harder so cane it more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-Finesse Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 I bought it from GS Motorsport, although there are loads of other suppliers, such as ESP! The version to fit the mk5 also fits the mk3 and 4. £165 delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easier when the gear falls in itself, rather than pushing it into gear I don't do it thinking I'm in some BTCC race! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very difficult when not using it in anger! Did you ever miss gears? I haven't (yet), but its easy to! Have to be fairly careful 2nd-3rd hard change!

Cyrix Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Got a quickshifter on my Capri, if your not use to it its a bitch, as a few of my mates have found when ive let them have a blast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sortedford Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 it was a git cos u had to give it some all the time, couldnt drive it easy imo, and if you let mates have a shot they tend to miss a fair bit and drop it down a gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
