Short Shifter went in today.

Do we need another review? I like it, its notchy, but short. IMO if you find getting the shift into the gates difficult, you may have one of the arms set to the wrong length. The gates make the shift pause, but you can't smash it in anyway, I don't find the shift heavier.

I was able to get the arms off without adjusting their length, I was able to get the old shifter out and new one in without removing the airbox or battery, just removing the intake section and disconnecting the SAI-airbox hose. Still took me most of an hour, but I'm pretty slow and like to admire the engineering and try to absorb some knowledge whilst I have new areas uncovered.

This mod is not for those who want the car soft and OEM, but for the tinkerers who think anything with a GTI badge should be raw.
