Overview

The Spulen Quick Change Short Shifter is an adjustable short shifter designed for VW and Audi 6-speed manual transmissions. It can shorten shift throws up to 40 percent, providing a quicker and more precise gear selection. The kit reuses some existing parts and includes components like a shifter ball, retaining posts, and a retaining nut.

This shifter allows you to customize the throw length to your preference. If the shifting becomes too short or notchy, the throw can be readjusted. Installation is described as easy, typically taking about an hour with common tools. The result is a precise, fast, short-throw shifting experience for compatible vehicles.

The Spulen Quick Change Short Shifter is engineered to significantly enhance the driving experience for owners of VW and Audi 6-speed manual transmissions. This results in quicker gear changes, improved precision, and a more engaging, sports-car-like feel during spirited driving or daily commutes. The kit is designed to integrate with your existing 6-speed manual transmission, including the 02M and 02Q models, and utilizes three retaining posts (8.3mm, 9.9mm, and one appropriate for your specific model) to ensure a perfect fit. Some original components will be reused during installation. The shifter is fully adjustable, allowing you to fine-tune the throw length to match your desired feel before finalizing the installation. If the shift becomes too short or overly notchy, the adjustment can be easily made by accessing the components under the hood. Installation is straightforward and can be completed in approximately one hour using basic tools such as a 3/8-inch ratchet, a 13mm deep socket, a small hammer or mallet, an extension of 20 inches or greater, and needle-nose pliers. The manufacturer provides installation video guides to assist in the process. The ultimate benefit is a precise, fast, and satisfying short-throw shifting experience for vehicles like the GTI, Jetta, and Golf R. To ensure compatibility, Spulen recommends using their "Choose Your Vehicle" application on their product pages. For an even more enhanced feel, consider pairing this short shifter with a billet shift knob, available in various colors.
