Quick shift kits

I am lookin out for a quick shift kit for my 83 gti, but I thought £120 was I bit too expencive, just wondered if anybody knows were I could get a cheaper one from

yeah you can get the shorter gear linkage pivots off flea bay, and a weighted linkage rod - should make it nice and short.  Make sure you renew all you bushes and linkages at same time - a shorter quicker shift with worn bushes will be neigh on impossible to find a gear!

Although if you handy with a grinder and welder you can modify your own pivot - sure theres a guide knocking about on the web

just modify yours to be like this :

Clicky

your flat rod bit needs to be longer to make the shift shorter

cheers dude, but im not to keen on buy from the bay cause of quality, iv been stung before, id like to buy from a proper company if anybody could help

all u need is a bit of flat metal with 2 holes in it, bolt it onto the end of your old relay shaft and pop the right bush in, job done.  relay shaft is the one the long metal link rod goes in, thats held in place with a pair of split pins

if you want quality have a look at the missinglinkz kits from the US, I can vouch for them being excellent. Do a search for missinglinkz on google and you'll find em. he does short shifts, uprated bushes and even kits which replace the whole lot with ball end rods

Ive made one now myself - its brilliant!will make you one for the cost of bits if you want?

where did you get your balls and ends from if you dont mind me asking

bit personal aint it??!!  

you mean the bushes?

sorry i thought you meant you made up some ball end linkages liek missinglinkz, i guess you mean you made up some nice bushes?

yeah, but I am in the process of making some adjustable rose jointed linkage arms.  "Aquired" them from my last job, but demon tweeks stock em.

righty oh then

His weighted billet is good, but you can make your own… I did, and the feel of the shift after adding it was really really nice…
