The HPA Short Throw Shifter is manufactured from an all new dedicated casting which is CNC machined to precise tolerances.
For the Golf R platform, these versatile pieces of hardware can be set up on one of two different positions to suit your preference: a sporty 20% reduction in throw or a more aggressive 35%/40%.
The perfectly balanced shifter counter weight gives each shift a precise and positive engagement and greatly improves the feeling over the sloppy stock shifter.
The bright zinc plated finish ensures that the stock appearance of your engine compartment is maintained while protecting the casting from corrosion.
Includes threaded pin / ball connection for connecting the shifter linkage. Easy to follow installation instructions are available upon request.
Orders can be placed by PayPal through our website, or by calling HPA directly at 604.598.8520.
On a local install, we found a variance with the Golf R that needed to be addressed in the machining process of the shifters. Once this is completed, they will be shipped. Shouldn't be long now...:thumbup:
The shifter in my R feels just like the short shifter I had in my GTI which was an S3 short shifter. Did the R get a better shifter or am I just imagining things?
How much shorter is this compared to the stock R shifter and will it be more notchy?

Finally had time to install mine today, it's been sitting in the garage for a few days. Great product, shifts feel amazing, and install was nice and easy!
Thanks HPA! :thumbup:

Is there an adjustment I should be paying attention to that I may have overlooked? I originally installed with the 20% reduction and was diggin' it and wanted to switch to 40% but when I did, I was getting contact between the counterweight and the linkage, shifting into 2nd (esp) and 6th.
I just bought a Diesel Geek one from a member before seeing this.
Can anyone comment on one vs the other? Not looking for a flame war, can be done via PM if needed, just want to see if I should go one way or the other - don't feel like changing in a few months.
