    Jetta Gear Stick Change?

    Is it possible to swap out the ugly stock gearstick for the ball version on the gti/r32s?

          It's more than just changing the knob over.
          Because of the way the GTI/R32 switch is located (forward of the knob) versus the way the others are side activated, you would need to replace a lot of the stuff underneath as well.
          There's been some Fred In The Shed work-arounds for this mod, but afaik hasn't been a howling success and involves a ton of screwing around.
          Check if you like on the US Golf, Rabbit and Jetta forums...you'll find references in quite a few places.
