Ordered mine last week and installed this past Friday. Enjoying it so far!

**nothing-leaves-stock** · 08-14-2012 08:20 AM

AWESOME!

**Blitzkrieg'nBunny** · 08-14-2012 08:54 AM

installed mine 2 weeks ago, only regret: why didn't i do this sooner.... love the feel

**Gunbu** · 08-14-2012 10:35 PM

This is a must do!
I thought that there might be a slight learning curve after the install- but nope! Loved it after the first shift.

**PhAyzoN** · 08-14-2012 11:04 PM

To anyone about to order one of these, look into 42DD shift cable bushings as well. They're cheap enough, really simple to do, and you'll already be digging into the same area.

**SocoJoe** · 08-15-2012 12:17 AM

Bout time you guys got a legit site

Got this and the 42DD bushings a while ago. Love it!

how does this compare to the neuspeed short shifter...? I have that on right now and I like it. It is significantly shorter then the stock throw.

**nothing-leaves-stock** · 08-15-2012 09:13 AM

have not compared, so i have no idea ...sorry

thanks for the great feedback!

Both say they reduce throw by 40%, the neuspeed one just costs more.

How was the install on the mk6? I'm contemplating ordering this. I've been looking for a short shift. And I was expecting it to be more exspensive

**nothing-leaves-stock** · 08-17-2012 08:00 AM

VERY easy.
very quick.
mk6 is easier then a mk5 but both are simple

we try to make good products at a fair price

**WakingTh3Fall3n** · 08-19-2012 11:38 AM

Do these fit the mkvi jettas as well?

**nothing-leaves-stock** · 08-19-2012 05:51 PM

If it is a 5 speed... Then yes

Ordered , thanks Josh

**WakingTh3Fall3n** · 08-22-2012 11:51 AM

Comes today wooo

**pete@blackforest** · 08-22-2012 01:56 PM

This was one of the first things I bought for my Mk5 back when it was cherry.
One of the best ~$100 modifications you can buy.

I would have to agree here, by far the best mod I've ever done. I put 125 miles on today just F*ing around after I installed this...

Props to Josh for Excellent product, fassst shipping and excellent customer service. I think the longest wait I had between emails was 30 min.

Here is a comparison of the Stock vs. NLS short throw shifter.

Install took 45 min, I would have been done in about 30-35 minutes if I hadn't dropped one of the battery tray bolts and a screwdriver onto my skid plate

I wish I would have seen/ done this mod 4 months ago when I purchased my car.

Again thanks Josh for the great service and product, If there is anything else I ever need you've got my business!

**nothing-leaves-stock** · 08-23-2012 08:21 AM

awesome, thanks for the order, glad to help!

**Somewhiteguy** · 09-06-2012 05:03 PM

I just installed mine today OMG great stuff. Such a nice feeling and what a difference. Install took about 45mins taking my time. Hardest part was lining up the shifter when putting it back on but everything else is straight forward.

Seems a bit harder to get into gear but I'm thinking that just how its supposed to be.

Definitely recommended

**nothing-leaves-stock** · 09-06-2012 05:16 PM

adjust your cables and it will feel perfect!

thanks for the order!

I've noticed one or two gears seem a pinch tougher too, haven't driven it much bc its been motorcycle weather. How would one go about this?

**Somewhiteguy** · 09-06-2012 06:00 PM

I plan to use this video to help me out. It looks very simple just gotta find a nail or something to keep the shifter locked in.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp9gg...layer_embedded

I have to change my oil and clean my cold air intake this weekend so ill do it then I can live with it for now.

**Gunbu** · 09-07-2012 02:01 AM

After adjusting the linkage shifting became much smoother.
I didn't have a nail that was the right size laying around, so I used a drill bit and it fit perfectly. Can't remember the size but it was a standard non metric one.

**Somewhiteguy** · 09-07-2012 02:20 PM

Just did this during my lunch and it was a disaster. Luckily I work at a dealership. I adjusted the linkage same as the video and reverse ended up as first gear. A mechanic helped me re adjusted it and said that you need to adjust it differently with a short shifter.

Also if you use a drill bit make sure you put something on the end other wise it will fall into the shifter like it did with me ><.

Now that its adjusted it feels great.

**WakingTh3Fall3n** · 09-08-2012 12:12 PM

Just took 5 min to.adjust the shift linkage ...... It's like butter now. Can't believe I over looked adjusting that in the first place... It's a whole new ride again

**nothing-leaves-stock** · 11-08-2012 05:01 PM

**WakingTh3Fall3n** · 11-08-2012 10:27 PM

Free bump for a great product

**guitaralbert0** · 11-16-2012 12:36 PM

how much would you guys charge to put it in?

not too far...

**nothing-leaves-stock** · 11-16-2012 01:50 PM

1/2 hour charge
$40

**HelloMyNameIs** · 11-16-2012 08:26 PM

Ordered! Been wanting to get one for a while, never got around to it. Any tips on for getting the linkage adjustment right? I know the Bentley has instructions for this but I don't know if that completely applies with the shortened throw.

**guitaralbert0** · 11-17-2012 05:48 PM

eeeeeeeeeeenteresting... and it continues...
