besters 26 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) I've been asked if I can supply short shifters for the Golf Mk3 as I already do for the Corrado Forum, link here - http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=61985&highlight=tunnel Photo here - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3G5ikFakLqGdDc2ZUp6YnlzYkk The Golf shifter is very similar to the Corrado shifter but they are NOT the same or interchangeable, I've taken a Golf shifter and a Corrado shifter complete with the Ali mounting frame and compared the two and they are very similar. The details are - Forward and back reduction only. Neutral to gear select reduction of 20mm (26%). It's only a mild reduction to prevent notchyness and excessive effort required to change gear. All worn parts replaced. Use your existing gear knob. Mechanism cleaned and greased. Install guide provided. Sold on an exchange basis only. If not completely satisfied, return the shifter for a refund. If you require feedback please see the above link on the Corrado Forum. Price is £90 posted with £25 refund on the return of your shifter to me providing it can be re-used. I can modify your shifter if it is sent to me but it needs to be in good condition, I will need it for around 10 days, cost for this is £70 posted back to you. Payment by Paypal or bank transfer, PM me for details. Comments very welcome. Thanks Dave Edited September 6, 2022 by besters matt1986, VR6Pete, Sasar and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

daveyboy 897 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Can you make them with a bigger reduction in the throw? I like a fairly notchy feel to my gear change Link to post Share on other sites

Sechs Toy 32 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I'm using a shifter from a corrado g60 can you do that?I also have a mk3 vr6 one lying around if it's any good to you Link to post Share on other sites

besters 26 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Lots of questions and I'll try to answer best I can....... I'm not familiar with the Golf so not sure if fitting is the same as the Rado. On the Rado you can either drop it out from underneath or cut a small section of the body out (hidden under the gear gaitor). I can email the Rado install guide but I can't guarantee it'll suit the Golf. I can shorten the throw but again I'm not sure how much I can go on the Golf. As soon as I can prove this works the sooner I can start supplying them. I'll guess at least a month away. Major Lucky, are you using the Rado G60 shifter in your Golf? Yeah the mk3 vr6 shifter I can use, PM me a price posted please. Apologies for being a little vague regarding the Golf but give me time and I'll get my head around it.

Sechs Toy 32 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yeah, I'm using the corrado g60 shifter as I've got a mishmash of gearbox, vr6 bell housing with g60 casing and g60 selector I can drop the whole shifter box out easy peasy Link to post Share on other sites
besters 26 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I've had a forum member come forward to tryout the shifter who is fairly local to me so hopefully I'll be doing it this weekend, just need to confirm a day and time. I'll report back with the results. Ickyketseddie 1 Link to post Share on other sites

besters 26 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Just got back from Matt's place. As said he's very happy with it and it does feel good when shifting between gears albeit sat on his drive without the engine running. So I'm happy to supply these but need to modify the Corrado install guide to suit the Golf. For me to successfully supply these I do rely on standard shifters being returned to me.
