Maxyboy Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 ok.....am well up for this thread... what is a short shift kit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khutula Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 [ QUOTE ] what is a short shift kit.... [/ QUOTE ] It reduces the 'throw' of a gear change. You go from stirring the porridge to a much more sure gear change. About 35% reduction is normal. I have the Neuspeed one fitted (as do a few others) its makes the gear change much more positve.

BrakeSnake Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Thats always been my complaint of the Audi or VW set ups, the throws are huge, copared to modern coupes like the 350Z. Out of interest how much did the kit cost? PM me if you can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
