EOI: Group Buy Tmtuning mk5 part R32,GTI,Comfortline,Sportline etc all

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but a straight swap of the knob for the Jetta/GT/GT Sport knob isn't possible.

AFAIK there's parts underneath that differ to the R32/GTI's. Because of the way the lock out knob works on them, the parts underneath operate 90 to the direction of the standard knob. A fair degree of butchering is required to get the new knob to work, and there's no guarantee that it will operate as expected.

If there's a way to do a straight swap, no-one would be more pleased than me to do the change...

Ever considered a career in the Diplomatic Corps, Robbie?

Amongst other things (try searching on Watercooled, JettaMkV and Vortex too), my skepticism was based on posts like this:
VWVortex.com - Need HELP w/ DSG Shift Knob Please
It's a good read, been following it for years.
That's why I said AFAIK

Heres my tip: get your vw specialists/gurus to fit it and lets have a report back on how it went.
As I said, if there's a way to do a straight swap, no-one would be more pleased than me...

And I'm not the only one who's skeptical about the conversion - you've posted on Golfmkv and received similar concerns, haven't you?

BTW, the pedal conversion is a straight swap and is a good upgrade.
