How to for removing and replacing a shift lever from B&M installation instructions: These can also be bought at ECS Tuning.ĭieselgeek Sigma 6 short shifter(plays with lever lengths on transmission side): ī&M short shifter (replaces shift lever): These bushings are the following part numbers: left - 1K0711067 - right - 1K0711067A. To my knowledge can only be bought with whole relay and end linkage assembly as shown here: Transmission relay lever plastic guide. Other parts in the shift box can wear out and cause play and sloppiness in your shifter. Definitely confirm what part you need before ordering.) The 1K0711699A P/N is for MKV cars, I believe, but don’t take me up on that. My local VW dealer said that the P/N without the A is the one that I want, and that decision was confirmed by ECS Tuning. Here is a picture of the cup, part # 1K0711699 (1K0711699A is also a part number that you may stumble upon. I think replacing the ball requires a new shift lever, but replacing of the cup is not too bad. Over the years this ball and cup can degrade. Right underneath your shift boot, there is a plastic looking ball and a plastic looking cup that provides a pivot for the shift lever. You may need to pry it out with some sort of tool. From there, pull UP on the gear shift with one hand and pull the bushing out with the other. Then use a torx on the retention plate screws. Just take off the two clips, you don't have to mess with recalibration. How-to: Disconnect the shift linkages from the transmission. Here they are from most effective to least effective as reported by other VW enthusiasts. There are some things that you can do to make your shifter feel more solid. Useful video on linkage calibration done by dieselgeek: Attached by 3 bolts to provide no relative motion between the sheaths of the shifter cables and the transmission. It houses another shaft which is pushed up and down and rotated by the cables to put the car into gear, along with some bearings and a locking pin, which locks the transmission into “home” position.Ĭable Bracket: This is the black steel bracket that sits atop your transmission. Shift Tower: The cast aluminum piece that bolts onto the top of your transmission and its containments. These are used to calibrate the shifter to its “home” position. Shifter Linkages: The plastic pieces that attach to the ends of the cables. It houses all the linkages and parts that make the movements of your hand on the knob move the cables in the correct direction. Shift box: The entire rectangular box part that sits right under your center console. You row this back and forth through the gears. Shift Lever: The metal shaft that the shift knob sits upon. Shift Knob: The thing you hold in your hand when you’re driving I found that most of this info is scattered across multiple threads on multiple sites, so hopefully this takes the work out of finding some solutions to your aging shifter. This should apply to most later (2000+) MKIVs and I believe MKV cars are very similar in design, although not identical. The biggest problem i forsee besides the obvious problem of just finding the AWD setup in the 1st place, is if the rear on it will even fit under the rear of my GTI, knowing the R32 uses a AWD setup, and knowing there are others that do as well.im thinking maybe pulling from an Audi A4 Quattro, but again i run into the problem of the rear transfer case fitting, does anyone know possibly of a site or place i could look up this info to see if a crazy idea like this would ever work? id love to do it if possible so any help is appreciated, thanks allīTW.This thread is intended to be an accumulation of knowledge that I have obtained on my quest for a better feeling shifter in my 2002 Golf TDI. Now in concept it sounds like i need the AWD tranny with the rear trans as well, bu seeing as how im going to have to pull from another car that i KNOW it wont fit at all, ill be needing to make custom axles and drive shafts (assuming the R32 uses a 2 peice drive shaft set up) :R32's are awd.but of course finding a wrecked AWD transfer case and such that would bolt right in will be damn near impossible without shoveling out boat loads of money i dont have.so my alternative idea, like with the CRX, isto find another car of the same make.and um.adjusting a few things on it to make it work So ive tossed this idea around before on a CRX back in the day when i wanted to be "That Guy", but i cant seem to keep my mind clear of known to be practical things yet trying to make it happen in a really complicated way.basically ive been concidering doing the AWD conversion to my GTI, simple concept seeing as how.
