Short shifter question
Do short shifter (UUC Motorwerks, Neuspeed, whatever) reduce the left-right throw distance as well as the forward-backward throw distance? Just curious. From pictures, it doesn't look like they would.

Actually, it will.
Because the fulcrum point is 20% further from the pivot point, shortening the travel of UUC lever, you don't need as much lateral movement of the lever to cross gates to make it work.
What sucks is that most of the lateral slop on my 99.5 (push down for reverse) is the cage that the shifter pivots on. There is so much slop in the plastic parts that this is where most of my trouble lies.
I wonder if the 2000 (non-push for reverse) eliminate this trouble. Its not worth machining a new cage out of metal for a small imporvement in feel. I like the reverse lockout tho, so you six-speeders don't bang reverse by accidnet ;-)

That plastic cage sounds inexpensive, could you not order a new one from Audi and replace the...
existing one. I am sure it would get rid of the slop and make it feel like a virgin stick
