  • Today we install a Megan Racing short throw shifter into our 2002 1.8t Volkswagen Beetle! A common issue with MK4 Volkswagens is the shifters in the 5 speeds wear out and begin to feel less than optimal over time, so we fixed it!

    I clicked on the link on your video. Does the throw kit come black like your video? Or it only comes in purple like the link that you provided?

    Do you have to remove the shifter assembly to install the kit or can you replace everything without removing it

    Where did you get the pin that goes in the shifter lockout handle and what kind is it? my kit did not include one.

      I used a 20d nail that I cut in half. The 20d nail is the exact same size as the hole in the shifter so it’s a pretty tight fit

      This kit is advertised to fit the '99-'03 Golf/GTI/Beetle/Jetta.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but couldn’t you keep the box in the car instead of taking it out

    Oetiker clamp pliers arent that bad anymore, can get a decent set for under $20

  • @fruitfulfigtree2195
    @fruitfulfigtree2195 Před 3 lety +1

    Do you have to take out the gearbox? You cant just put it in from inside the car ?

    • @mikepdesigns8801
      @mikepdesigns8801 Před 3 lety +1

      You can pop the bottom panel off of the gear shifter mechanism with a flat head screw driver that's what i did

    • @mikepdesigns8801
      @mikepdesigns8801 Před 3 lety +1

      Didn't have to take anything else off other than the bits on top inside the car

    these vw kids and their forehead combovers these days, you use a flat screw driver to open up that boot ring..
