Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

      Any 02a short shifter from a Vr6/passat will work in a Cupra.

      At least 20 options. All 020 short shifters suit your 8v.

        I have decided on the Gruvenparts short shifter with the b&m shifter

        B&M Manual Short Shifter, Precision Shifter, Audi, VW » B&M

        Pretty sure they will work

            Plenty of b&m on ebay also plenty of knock offs as well and to be honest they exactly the same. The only difference I noticed was a little blue paint and 150 bux lol

                Well I purchased the Gruvenparts short shifter and its on the way now. Also didnt go the b&m...I went the autobahn88 at $34. Im going to install the Gruvenparts short shifter first and then still in 2 minds about changing the actual shifter because read a few bad things. See how we go

                  Another option if you really want to improve the shift quality is swap the shift tower on your 02A gearbox with a later model 02J one. They work differently but will fit straight in (be sure to get the retaining cap from underneath though, its shift tower specific). You will then have to use the mk4 02J shifter and cables, but believe me the combination is just so superior to the 02A setup. Just another option, and there are probably a lot more upgrade parts available for a mk4/02J setup if you want to go further.

                        This came the other day. Quality seems to be good....Does not come with installation instructions but im sure you could download the b&m instructions. Still going to wait for gruvenparts short shifter before I install it tho

                          So this MK4 shiftier will fit the 02A box without any modifications needed? Do you need to get a new shift knob also?

                            Well im not 100% sure because I haven't installed it. My understanding is that if it fits the vr6 mk3 it will fit the cupra being the same gearbox. Correct me if I'm wrong

                              I would say a new gear knob would be needed as well. Not 100% sure just yet
