The NEUSPEED short shift kit for the 2005-up Jetta V and Rabbit MkV easily installs onto the transmission's selector shaft. The Neuspeed short shift kit reduces the throw length between gears by approximately 40% - this is the absolute maximum reduction possible without overextending the cable mechanism.
The NEUSPEED short shift kit incorporates a calibrated counterweight which is required for more positive shift action. Lookout for kits without the counterweight, as they will produce very notchy gear selection.
This is a completely bolt-on application - no cable adjustment required.
Notes
For 5-speed transmission only.
