Hey guys,
I own a 90 tsi, which doesn't have alot of options for a shifter change.
I have the metal bushings under the shift plate. Just recently though I bought the Greddy Counter-weight shift knob. This thing is awesome!! Its small, round, makes the height seem to be shorter (than previous knob), and weighs a ton! Well maybe not a ton, but very very heavy. This has made the shifts seem alot more positive. (If that makes sense.) When shifting it goes into gear and there aren't any questions or worries. The throw of the shifter is still pretty long, but I'll try to figure that one out later. The shift knob was about $40. I'd do it again in a heart beat. I'm planning on replacing tranny, t-case, and diff fluid in the near future. I thought I'd post this and try to help those with a 1990 and are looking for options. Later.
Oh, does anyone know of a 1990 short shifter that I might have over looked? Or perhaps a way of shortening the stock shifter throws? Thank you.
