not to mention a billet flange would look x10 better then that conversion on that thread, just bolt and go super simple. no conversion needed! just like all your other parts! i bet you would sell just as many of the other 2 flanges as you do radnecks.

I tried to get this going early on. Could not generate any interest. Not even one.

[lnoriel]

I don't know what else could be replaced for a better shifter feel on the G60 but I've read replacing/re-newing the bushings below help quite a bit. Unfortunately they are only available in oe nylon replacements. I don't know if billet alloy replacements would be better...Note this are for the shifter tower inside the vehicle, as early 02A trans (ie. g60) did not have the bracket bushings as opposed to the later VR6 ones.


oe part #s for G60 shifter tower bushings:
- 357 711 124 A (no. 7 on below drawing)
- 357 711 166 A (no. 4 on below drawing)
- 357 711 590 B (no. 39 on below drawing)
- 357 711 590 C (no. 40 on below drawing)
- 357 711 217 (no. 24 on below drawing)

This made a huge improvement in feel as well as positive feedback on my G60 O2---Not to mention a shorter distance between gears. It's a very nice Gruven part.

It wont break either

It wont break either

you BET!!

The plastic part it replaces is really flimsy. This Gruven part really firmed up the feel of my shifter which in turn provides better driver feedback.


Don't forget to mention-- This is probably the most cost effective short shifter alternative for the O2A

Good point! Ive been driving 1 with this short shifter bracket for years, cant imagine going back to long side/side throw anymore!

But their product description says "Corrado VR6"....

Good point, every G60 Ive seen already has metal side/side transfer lever. Do some G60's have similar trans linkages as VR ? Ive always told G60 people this wont fit but I could be wrong!

Your assertion is correct.

it is a long story. Which is why I made a good thing out of a bad situation by implementing the Gruven part into my shifter linkage on a G60.

For the story

Thats crazy, sorry to hear they switched trans on you. I need LSD in mine as well and was wondering same thing. At least its back together, and with at least 1 metal part that wont break!

Corrado Billet Upper "Rad Neck"

www.GruvenParts.com has designed a TIG welded billet version of the Corrado upper radiator neck to replace the weak plastic factory radiator neck prone to cracking and dropping chunks which clog your radiator. We closed the book on this part, and it will never need to be replaced again. "Wife-beater" t-shirt not included.

This part replaces OEM P/N 535-121-647 (535121647) found on all Corrado G60 and VR6.

[G0to60]

Good product. I'm slowly converting my entire car to Gruven parts as they break. I have this and the cable shift end. Next will be the hood release cable as I've just broken the clip by the release handle.

I'm so glad there's a company out there willing to make parts for the smallish market of the Corrado.

We LOVE Corrado

We LOVE Corrado

I had the OEM plastic radiator filler neck crack while driving through a bad neighborhood near downtown Los Angeles. That was incentive enough to never have to do that again. I bought the Gruven part.

I'm also working on a Golf 16V and thought I might convert to the Corrado radiator simply because I can use this part on that car too. But the consideration isn't the expense in the G60 radiator, the Gruven radiator neck, or the additional lower water pipe, its the expensive Corrado hoses.

[THECISAG60]

It's true about the deterioration of the plastic neck. My plastic let go, blew the hose off and made a mess. I should have ordered one of these as preventitive maintenance but you live and learn I guess. I received confirmation my part is in the mail, Thanks!

[GruvenParts.com]

Thanks for orders on this guys. Yes this is a totally needless failure point on the Corrado G60 and VR6 motors, its nice to take care of it once and for all!

PS - Ive got same color Samco's in my engine. Looks nice




Corrado Billet Upper "Rad Neck"

[petethepug]

Build quality is down the crapper with plastics for engines now. I still run my oe plastic neck from the last radiator replacement. That puts it at 22 years old. Time to go Gruven when I install the old skool metal Golf engine coolant temp sensor to the block

[GruvenParts.com]

I just wish we could find a decent metal radiator solution ...

Im about to tear into the front end again to replace an alternator thats putting out all of 12.000 volts at idle so now would be good time to do it. I hate putting that plastic back in there!

Corrado Billet Hood Cable Clip

The Corrado hood release cable clip (mounted to the hood pull bracket near the drivers left knee) is notorious for breaking at the worst possible time -- when you need to open the hood.

Rather than using a cheap stamped version which will break again in short order, our version is precision CNC'd from a solid chunk of aerospace grade billet aluminum and installs in minutes. No need for the time consuming task of removing the ENTIRE cable, this one slips right onto the hood pull bracket and locks in with all supplied fasteners included. VW doesnt even sell the hood clip anymore, but even if you found 1 it would be a waste of time to remove the entire hood cable to put it on, as it would break again in short order. Skip the cobbled together mystery versions floating around as well, ours is designed right! We LOVE Corrado so we're happy to reincarnate it’s parts from CNC'd billet.

Fits ALL Corrado and replaces Clip P/N 535-823-567 (535823567) that installs on cable P/N 536-823-531 (536823531)

Have you ever thought of making them this way:



By making the plate a little thicker, you should be able to use just the threads instead of welding, and by offering as drawn, you may expand your market to those who want to stay with stock throw.
