Description

The Dieselgeek Sigma 5 Speed Short Shifter, now in its third-generation design, is engineered to significantly enhance the tactile feel and precision of your manual transmission equipped Volkswagen. The side-to-side cable end is fortified with Delrin Perfect Pivot bushings, eliminating side-to-side flex and ensuring direct motion transfer. This shifter kit transforms the driving experience by removing the slop and imprecision associated with stock cable-operated shifters. The unique Dieselgeek Slider further refines gate selection with a durable, self-lubricating structural plastic, preventing the degradation and loss of precision common in other aftermarket kits. The Sigma Shifter is designed to fit a wide range of VW models including the 2005.5 & 2006 Mk5 Jetta (1.9 TDI diesel), 2005.5 - 2014 Mk5 and Mk6 Jetta (2.5L gasoline), 2014 - 2015 Mk6 Jetta (1.8T TSI Turbo gasoline), 2006 - 2009 Mk5 Rabbit (2.5L gasoline), 2010 - 2014 Mk6 Golf (2.5L gasoline), 2012 - 2014 Beetle (2.5L gasoline), 2012 - 2014 B7 Passat (2.5L gasoline), 2014 - 2015 B7 Passat (1.8T TSI Turbo gasoline), 2015 - 2018 Mk7 Golf (1.8T TSI Turbo gasoline), 2018 - 2021 Mk7 Golf (1.4 TSI, 6-speed for US and Canada), and 2019 - 2021 Mk7 Jetta S (1.4T TSI, 6-speed for US and Canada). It also fits Euro-spec, VW Golf-based cars, and North American 1.4 TSI cars with an 02S or MQ250 transmission (both 5-speed and 6-speed). This kit is explicitly stated to NOT fit the Polo. Additionally, this kit serves as an excellent replacement for the failure-prone plastic VW shifter levers (part numbers 1K0 711 202K or 5N0 711 203A) found on 2007 and newer vehicles, which are known to seize in the transmission pivot tube.

MIA's Description

The Dieselgeek Sigma 5 Speed Short Shifter is a third-generation redesign engineered to transform the feel of your manual transmission VW. This shifter kit replaces stock components with an all-aluminum front-to-back cable end and a spherical pivot bearing, along with fortified side-to-side cable ends using Delrin Perfect Pivot inserts. The result is a more precise and positive shifting experience.

This shifter is designed to improve the feel of various VW Mk5, Mk6, and Mk7 models, including Jettas, Golfs, Rabbits, Beetles, and Passats with specific gasoline and diesel engines. It also fits Euro-spec Golf-based cars and North American 1.4 TSI cars with MQ250 transmissions. The kit can also address issues with failure-prone stock shifter levers.
