Video Description:This is an episode of Andy's Auto Sport TV that explains all the basics about short shifters. We explain what exactly a short shifter does and why it's beneficial to have. We also explain what a short shift adapter is and how it differs from a short shifter. In the back half of the video we do a pair of short shifter installations so that you can get a feel for what's involved.
Fits On:
2006-2006.5 Audi A3 (8P) 6-Speed transmission with OEM shifter part #1K0 711 051 J
Description:
The NEUSPEED® short shift kit easily installs onto the transmission’s selector shaft. The NEUSPEED® short shift kit reduces the throw length between gears by approximately 40% - this is the absolute maximum reduction possible without overextending the cable mechanism. The NEUSPEED® short shift kit incorporates a calibrated counterweight which is required for more positive shift action. This is a completely bolt-on application - no cable adjustment required.

Q: Are short shifters available for every vehicle?
A: Short shifters are vehicle specific and are not universal. They are not available for any automatic transmission vehicles.
Q: What's the difference between a single bend shifter and a dual bend shifter?
A: The dual bend shifter sits closer to the driver and is the option we see most people going with when it's available for their vehicles.
Q: What is a short shifter? Why buy a short shifter?
A: A short shifter dramatically improves your shifting performance due in large part to reduced shifter travel, or "short throw". If you're in a performance situation, the additional seconds it takes for a factory stock shifter to go from one gear to another can result in a slower time. If you want speed, reduce the throw and increase your acceleration by getting a short shifter.
Q: How do you install a short shifter?
A: Short shifters are installed by removing your factory shift lever from your transmission. Your center console will have to be removed along with your shift boot and shift knob in order to access the lower part of your shifter mechanism. Once removed, the short shifter should be directly bolted in and everything should be re-assembled. Instructions are included and installation takes around 30 minutes with ordinary hand tools.
