Short-shift kits for 5k?

[illuminaudi at comcast.net]

The Billzcat kit is for later models with the 01A(?) 'boxes.  IIRC, my 5k has a 016(?) 'box.  I think the VW Quantum models used the same one, but I don't know of any other VWs that did, and the Quantum isn't listed on Dieselgeek's site.
I found the PN for the Blau kit (443 711 010) on Audiworld's Type44 forum, but I'd prefer a Dieselgeek kit because they reduce the side-to-side movement as well as shortening the throw.
