Short Shifter

Blue had a B&B one fitted to his S3 in the summer of 2002. Think it was a 30% reduction in throw.

Neuspeed shortshift

Highly recommended, shorter and all more importantly crisper shifts. You drive this and a RS4, and you realize we have a much sweeter shift when compared to a lorry :P

Will get the Sportec one fitted on Monday (along with a remap). Tested on a friend s S3, feels really good, especially shorter on 1/3/5, and also feels alot stiffer than original.
Price is about 300CHF (~200euros) fitted here in Switzerland.


Regards
