so only the forward backward movement of the gearstick has been reduced 40 %? :shrug:

the side to side movement is controlled the plate connection and has not changed:confused:

Correct, only the forward and back movement has been changed.

The pic in post #58 is the bracket for the side to side movement.

Thought that, drilling cast items may not be a good idea, induces stress areas and fracture points that could cause failure.

Do you mean the leon cupra 6 speed?

If so its because the pin that connects to the cable is different.

if the tt short shifter fit the mk4 golf (i know its a slightly bigger car) but it has the same engines and gearboxes, wouldt the tt one fit the mk4 beeza?

I don't think it would as the gearboxes are different than the Ibiza and probably also have the different types of connectors, same as the Leon.

Its the connectors that were different on mine. Ball and socket on mine and pin type on Golf/Leon/TT as far as I know.

Guys, really would like a shortshifter but have not the abilty to make it like in this tutorial.
Isn't it possible to change the connectorarms?

So you take other shifter cable ends:

and a standard 5-speed VAG short shifter:

Bringing this thread to life as I am in the position where I can't seem to find anything on the shelf for my ibiza 1.9tdi and I am willing to do this mod but my shifter looks different than anything I have seen online.
Is there anything out there that fits now in 2018?
