D00d like I am a nasacar welder guy. I know my welds work,,..

Here's a video.. http://faculty.ccp.edu/faculty...2.MPG
That's my big fat ass riding on my welds... well, at least the motor mounts... and some under carage work...

Naa, I know my welds suck. Its hard with a home-depoish 120V welder that does not use gas. I hit them hard with a hammer (personal test) to make sure they won't break. That and use good eye protection are about all I really know about welding..

Drove the car in to work today, shifted fine R & 5th work as VW wanted them to. There are no adjustments needed.. really, there is nothing to adjust, this was some of the best 20 min I spent working on my car.

More or less, I did the same thing MizzingLinkZ did.

I was going to make a plate like they sell for $15, but I wanted to make my own rig..

Frankly, IMHO the MissingLinkZ $15 deal is the way to go. The ABT kit, Neuspeed - Not worth the money. I had the Neuspeed setup on my MKII Golf - this feels the same.... Well, it feels better since it was cheaper and I made it...

Hillbilly - Just the name that came into my head while I was listining to these loosers. http://www.scots.com/

you really should adjust it afterwards

actually its not necessary, as the piece dan modified can only go on 2 ways. right or 180 degrees incorrect. or upside down i suppose. The square cut in the end of the lever he modified fits onto a square headed rod, the one with the plastic ball on it. As long as you have the modified piece back down seated around the square of the rod you are fine.

Bling - Slang for if someone has a lot of big shiny jewelry, big shiny wheels, it's all sparkly and pretty...it's bling bling.

look at a eurosport or neuspeed short shifter.

then look at a stock one.

then look at dans.

then look back at the stock one.

Say you want to clean your windsheild at the gas station with a squeegee. You can reach further across the window with a longer handle than a shorter one. Less movement to do the same action.

just wanted to show luv...

You could've just said "It's longer."

The longer that linkage is, the shorter the throw inside the car.

that scooter is dope.

we never got the pics...

Oh THIS thread!

I missed it!!!

<duh!>

I wanted to bump this because I just adjusted the other end of the shifter this weekend (the part that bolts to the trans) much like this pic here.. that yeayeayea did.

And mine - I just heated it up with a MAP torch (Home Depot) and then hammered it into that shape... (on the left)...

Drilled a hole, swapped the bushing, and BINGO... this feels as good, if not better then my Neuspeed one I had in my MKII..

Best of all, it cost me nothing but 10 min to hammer it into shape.

Is it better to do one or the other?

I put on my robe and wizard's hat...

read the thread you cave dweller.

It leaks.

So, I pulled it out.

I don't run the camper much at all in the winter.

Oh *that* heater..

I found it in the trash, it works great. It was off at the time. I keep it only a few inches away from a box of oily rags.

The piece i modified is modeled after the autotech shift kit. by lengthing dans part, and essentially shortening my part, you should have a really nice, short throw, depending on how much longer you make dans part. Ive been running my setup for over 20000 miles now, its not a huge difference over stock but im certainly happy with it.
