Forge Short Shift Kit - Group Buy

[Catfish]

The next page is your car's detail sticker, and your gearbox is listed here (red arrow ): HWY is the MK4 bushing kit. O2A is the later pivot rebuild hybrid kit.

Doesn't appear to in my manual. At the red arrow it says JDB, not HWY or O2A, and it's an 07 Polo Gti. Can you interpret this?

Thanks.

Poop, guess the Polo manual is different to the Golf!

Help Polo guru's!!!

You can still get a discount on the 42dd bushings. PM Greg Roles for the discount code.

[Greg Roles]

Discount was for those in the group buy who also bought a Forge short shift, afraid I can't sell them that cheaply forever!

Afraid there's so little in bushes that this offer was more a factfinding mission and a bit of love for the forum.

[worx]

ah well, worth a shot.

[Greg Roles]

Also afraid R fitment hasn't been worked out as yet....

Here's my attempt at explaining how to tweak the cable ends for notchy gears, especially if you do unhook the cable ends.

This is awesome. Mine was slightly notchy after installing the Forge short shifter but one click inwards later and the shift is beautifully smooth again

On my late '08 TDi, it says JXY there

[noone]

did you notice a problem at one end or the other (eg R / 5)? The feel of mine wilth all the bits is notchy, but not in a way I think needs to be changed... I don't have any gears that are hard to get into or more problematic

[kaanage]

I THOUGHT it was just generally notchy for all gears after instaling the short shifter. Then after looking at Greg's video, I felt the shift more carefully (with the car off and clutch depressed) and noticed that 5th was always a notchy while 1st was smooth if I didn't push the lever all the way to the left (just slightly off). One click shorter later and the notchiness is totally gone.

Glad my explanation worked, I'm still not happy with that video, but as you found one click makes all the difference!

I'll have to investigate Polo gearboxes further, was just told by a member that the later cars had the "02A" gearbox. Would LOVE one of you guys to set me straight there!

Why not try and start your own group buy? I'm sure there is a few more people that would like one.

[Greg Roles]

Polo specific bushing kits now in stock. Available at the group buy price to those on the first list. I have 10 sets, first in first served.

Thanks for making this new kit happen people, couldn't have done it without you!!
