im at the stage of finishing my 1.8t conversion
but I'm having a real ball ache trying to get the gear shifter sorted.
I have a lupo gti shifter with an o2j box I want to mount the shifter inside the car but the cables seem too long.
.
Anyone got pics or pointers?

I have the exact same gearbox and shifter setup in mine.
Have you definitely got the Lupo GTI cables ?
You might have the 1.8T ones which are too long, but can be routed to fit.
My shifter sits under the tunnel:

This is one of the cables - I took this pic after it failed, but it will give you the number off one of the them to compare (the other cable has a similar number)

They are still available from VW, about £40 a cable.
The number has changed, but I cannot find the number - ping rubjonny on here as he was the one that told me the new numbers, I think it was just the 8X0 that changed on the front.

Thanks for the reply
That's really helpful
I will check the numbers tomorrow
Question about mounting the shifter below, did you cut anything from the tunnet to make it fit. Also did you add any heat shielding ?

left the factory heatshield on the cables to protect them from the exhaust.
