Make & model of car the product was used on:
2001 A4 1.8T
I got my Neuspeed short shifter installed
yesterday. It was purchased through
Greedspeed. Great prices, great
services. Definitely recommend.
The installation was pretty straight forward.
My friend helped me install it, and it took
roughly an hour, maybe a little longer because
we had to buy a hex socket for one of the
bolts. If you have the right tools, you
will blow through this installation.
After getting it installed, all I can say is
WOW. The shifting is precise, smooth,
and overall feel/quality of the car is MUCH
improved. If anyone has been contemplating on
whether or not to buy the Neuspeed Short
Shifter, remove all doubts and buy it! I
was thinking about the
UUC shifter, but I talked some people and they
said they were having problems with it (Not
adjusted correctly?) The shifter is
lower, and IMO a lot more comfortable. I
have heard rumors about people saying the
Neuspeed shifter would make the OEM shift boot
not fit correctly. Absolute rumor, fits fine.
I personally hated the stock shifter, I
thought I was rowing a boat every time I
shifted.
The location of the shift knob is in perfect
harmony with the car now. With the old shifter
it just didn't look right, the shift knob sits
too high. I guess you don't notice it
until you get the short shifter. Definitely
looks better.
