Dieselgeek Super Pin - VW Mk8, Mk7 Golf, GTI, GLI, Golf R, Alltrack, Sportwagen
We really love the new MK7 Golfs but the shifter has a couple of places where loose tolerances lead to less than stellar shifting. The result is that the Golf MK7 Shifter performance doesn't match the excellence of the rest of the car. Bring your MK7 shifter up to the level of the MK7 suspension, chassis and ergonomics with the Dieselgeek Super Pin. The Dieselgeek billet aluminum Super Pin replaces the cheap plastic shifter pivot pin and really tightens up the shifting experience!
Installation
You will need to remove the center console on your car to install this part. This is the most tedious part of the install process. Dieselgeek has made several videos (see below) to assist you with the installation process.
