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,

  • forge quick shift setup

    I've installed the forge quick shift linkage. I've also extended the gear stick so that its right up high. The longer stick with the throw on the linkage set to the shortest seems to work really well. I figured while I was in there that I'd do this set up on the cable adjusters to account for any laxity in the cables now that they've done 90,000km: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sheTKD03hmo

    I'm cool with locating the pin for transmission home position and the pin for gear stick home position but I noticed that with the forge linkage fitted, that the white tab that is normally in the centre of the cam with a standard linkage isn't anymore - the linkage is rotated around slightly. I assume that this isn't a drama and you just ignore the slightly different linkage position and go on ahead and set up the cable ends as per the vid ie the linkage position should vary depending on whether you set the linkage to short or long throw. So wondering if anyone out there has done the cable end adjust like this and had no dramas?

    i'll answer my own post here in case anyone wants to slicken up a tired shift. I was just a bit hesitant to do it in the carpark at work before having to drive 50km home in case I buggered it up. I bit the bullet and did the you tube procedure and it works perfectly. Put it in neutral, ignored the forge linkages cam position, pinned the transmission side, detached the joints, pinned the gear stick position, spread the cables away from the joints to remove slack and then released the latches. Getting reverse was getting a bit notchy and the 4th to 5th gate wouldn't slide like 2nd to 3rd would, but perfect afterwards.
