[s-cars] VW Shift Knob

[Richard Tanimura]

I posted this directly to Brian earlier. It is the Billzcat short shift kit.
It fits the S2, RS2, some 80's, 90's, 100's, 200's. Not sure about the
urS4/S6. It's one of the best little mods I have ever installed. Richard
Hoffman is also a great guy to deal with. Took 90 minutes from start to
finish. Just needed to remove the e-brake cover. It shortens the throw by 32
mm (I measured) and makes a huge difference in the feel of the gearbox.

"In addition, are there any short shifter kits available for the stock
5-speed? What of Frank's lead kit?"
I think that kit was built with component changes from Brendan Rudak. I also
think he works for ASW in Boulder CO now. AutoSport Werks. I have photos in
here someplace.  Installation apparently requires transmission removal.  be
careful..

Because if you follow Bill Mahoney's slippery slope, that short shift kit
will cost you a 6 speed tranny, flywheel , clutch.. yadda etc.  while you
have the tranny out!
