The thing took more time to shift smoothly than an Eaton Fuller 18 speed). I'll keep you posted on how the aluminum bits work, but the 42DD bushings were pretty nice on my City (even though the rest of the shifting experience was generally poor - nothing like an ECU with a 1.5-second throttle delay on or off - had to lift 1 second *before* clutching or the engine would smack the rev limiter, and try timing heel-toe with that. If you can't tell, I'm out to get rid of all the rubber (maybe I'll regret it with the diesel vibrations, but if I get that level of feedback I'll be doing very well). I also picked up a set of bushings from Verdict Motorsport that support the cable-sleeve bracket on the gearbox. The bushings from 42DD are taking FOREVER to arrive (they were shipped fast, it's the mail here that's slow, to be clear). ) (if it isn't right, there are two other pn's that the lever is broken down into, but they aren't identified graphically - it's a crapshoot.) The plastic slider on the assembly on the trans is ~$16 (if we have the right part in ETKA) - Ordered it today. It's looking like it may be the culprit but somehow I think it may beyond my ability to handle in a weekend. If this is worn or even missing you will have sloppy side to side shifts.

I would only be guessing IF I tried to tell you which exact part to check.įor as you can see from these diagrams, your manual shifter is far more complex than my '81 Rabbit's!!! but your '06 Golf has multiple "trim" and thus tranny choices.

With the shifter mounted up I then setup the linkages. To mount, I drilled two holes in the tunnel for the studs to be bolted up from the inside of the car then ran a bolt down at the rear. To mount the mk4 shifter I removed the mk2 brackets under the tunnel Then I cut off two sections at the rear of the shifter as outlined in the pic below.

Trying to get hold of a tower on it's own from breakers proved problematic: nobody wanted to split them from the gearboxes. Combined with the 5-speed short throw Audi TT tower, this setup would also feel a million times nicer than the long swing of the mk3 cable changer.

My exhaust system has been a problem, with clearance between the CAT and the bottom of the shifter mech housing being the major issue.
