Ok this may seem a little unfair to those who have asked me to let them know when I have a shifter but I've had a lot of people PM me and to be honest it's getting difficult to keep track of things along with my other commitments. I've got 2 shifters that will be ready middle of next week so I'm going to say first come first served from today will get their name on them.
I will have 2 more the week after but the good news is I'll have them 'in circulation' so provided the standard shifters are returned to me quickly then the supply should be fairly quick.
I don't have a problem with people wanting to pay me immediately to secure a shifter even if they have to wait for it, to be honest it's probably easier for me to manage it this way.
Thanks for understanding.

Price is on the first post.
As I've confirmed today that this is going ahead can anyone wanting one please send me a PM as confirmation of you wanting one.
Apologies to those who have already PM'd me but I'd like to start from today to keep things organised if you understand.
Thanks.

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.
Thanks
Dave

Glad to hear the test went well.
How much difference does it make in the throw in the real world?

Think Matt will have to answer that one.

Bit of a delay with this but hope to get it moving again in the next few days.

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.

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.
Cheers

I've been asked if I can supply short shifters for the Golf Mk3 as I already do for the Corrado Forum, link here -

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

Hi, just joined up, I own a Corrado VR6 and am just off M1 J25.
Golf Mk3 Short Shifter
in Exhaust and Performance parts

Yes but I won't go mad with it as a shorter throw requires more effort and a more notchy feel to the shift.
