Custom made quickshift

Looks very smart that - Probee did mine for me and a nice job it was too - makes the change feel less agricultural.

Nicely done, I like the red!

Might have to do this to mine at some point I think...

What did you have to modify on the pin btw? Nice work!

Don't mix the two pins up on the shifters, they're different sizes

Can them pins or similar be bought anywhere?, Is there a name for them?.
I wish I could do this but don't have the skills or tools

That's very kind but I'm not sure you can get the pins seperately. Unless anyone knows different?. It would save on getting a Forge one though

not funny

you should do the same with the other one too matey.. its even easier

Very good mod there mate. What size tap did you use?

Do you thunk it would work on a MK4 ibiza cupra (5 speed)?

Nice job. Does the trick without the expense if you've got the right tools and knowhow.

I seem to remember Dieselgeek used to sell a similar thing - they sent you a modified shifter and you got a partial refund when you sent your standard one back to them.

How did you go about setting it up again with the cables? I think one of the cables on mine might be slighly out as 2nd is a little dfficult to engage

I'm so tempted to do this on mine. Anyone know how much a standard one is from the stealers? Just in case!! lol. Anyone know why I couldnt do this on a 5 speed?

So you literally drilled a hole directly in line with the two holes already in place?

Presumably Probee the side-to-side is the same, but you drill a hole lower than the one already in place? how much lower did you go?

Thinking about it, even if I messed up the drilling of the hole, I could just put the pin back in the original position and I would just have an extra hole there.

I'm looking at doing the same thing to my mk4 cupra (5 speed). I agree about the side to side too, its the same principle.

nice work John
welcome to the short side lol

I've just had a look at mine on my car and it looks completely different, so I'll have to take a closer look and see. I have a bad feeling its not going to work though!

Nice job!

I did the same thing last year.
I didnt remove the original pin though. Made up a whole new one on a lathe.
