Group buy Dieselgeek short shifters, EGR deletes...

[rayray086]

Didn't know you had one Benno, but on your recommendation I think I'll have to shout myself one, just for comparison to the 42DD bushes alone - that's what I'll tell the missus anyhow!

I was thinking of getting the 42DD bushes for my 8L A3 (pretty much a Mk4 Golf GTI in the engine bay). Would the 42DD bushes work with the DieselGeek short shifter kits, or is it not necessary? Put my name down for a DG SS kit for a 5-speed Mk4 GTI anyhow!

Hey Greg,

Another for the Sigma 6 speed Short Shift Kit (MK6 GTI).
Thanks for organising!!!

[Greg Roles]

Yes the 42DD bushes work with the DG MK4 short shift, for if you look at the website or the pics I posted in the sponsor section, the DG MK4 still uses the stock rubber ends. Heck, it's Friday arvo, I'll spoil ya....here you go:



The MKV/VI kit replaces everything, so no need for 42DD bushes. If anyone with a MKV/VI with 42DD bushes wants to upgrade, talk to me, I'll work something out, don't want anyone left with useless bits....

[Greg Roles]

all other questions passed onto dieselgeeks for an answer, still learning the unusual fitments myself!

Josh not sure it fits the polo, but again awaiting confirmation. Might have to go with Allards there.

Thanks for the info Greg!

I had another quick look at the site and it looks like they have the Sigma 5-speed for the Mk4:



I'm assuming these don't require the upgrade to the 42DD bushes?

I'll have to double-check if the Sigma 5 is indeed for my 2001 A3 1.8T but I'm 90% it is.

I'd be keen on some 42DD stuff anyway and will speak to you about it all soon.

I would be interested in a short shift kit for my mkvi gti!

How much were they again?

[dainese]

DG short shifter is fantastic.

haven't tried others, admittedly. but i don't think gets much better than this.
getting a puller would make installation easier

Why, Greg.. Why do you offer this stuff...


I'm now interested in a DG short shift for the Caddy.. You bastard! haha.

[Greg Roles]

Afraid it's only going to get worse Preeny, have my eye on a lot of boutique stuff. Like you can talk with your flash Peloquins, shocks etc, I hate you right back!!

Well the interest is over 10 sets now, so I can get them to everyone for $180AU and free post to your door from me. Just so you know there's not much margin with these small companies, and that is very, very close to cost even at volume, and that's before paying shipping!

My RRP on the website will be about $225 or so, given the shipping costs, but that's still around the one off direct import price, which is always my business aim.

So get in at the bargain price while you can people, I can bring forward the order date if everyone interested is willing, I really wanted to hit at least 10 sets to get the decent discount ( and I'll be honest I wanted a discounted one too!! )

[Greg Roles]

hi greg, do you offer short shifters for 98 audi a3 1.8T

I'd assume that is the same as a MK4 VW, will have to do some research. Can you ask around too??

[Greg Roles]

greg
i'd be interested in a short shifter for my Skoda Octavia 1.8TSI.

You'll probably need a photo because I tried to fit an OEM short shift thingy off an R32 Gold & the Skoda gearbox appears to be "back to front".

That would be the safest bet if you can find one, but the ends and links across the VAG range are usually all from the same parts bin...

[Greg Roles]

I've contemplated a skidplate before !. Out of curiosity how much would one cost.
Thanks man. Congrats on the growing business mate.

Matt.

Shipping is the killer at towards $200!!

Be far cheaper to get someone to fabricate one locally....sorry!!

[Greg Roles]

how much are the EGR delete kits?

$120 in the group buy mate. they fit the AQH, AGR, AHF, ASV and ALH engines.

[Banzai]

I'm up for a short shift for a Mk6GTI.

[sdhog2002]

I can bring forward the order date if everyone interested is willing,

Like tomorrow, Greg!

I'm definitely in. If you want me to pay today, just say the word.
