Other than changing the cable end-link, does this video cover how to swap to the short-shifter?

Edit: Because the Forge instructions mention adjusting the end-link, and locking the gear lever into place inside the car, is this necessary?


Hav you got a link to the Forge Instructions?

Sorry cant answer any of the questions you have asked as not got one fitted.. (yet!!!)

Do you guys fit a sideshifter as well?

Guncha vai Tavai Cuprai arī tas ir uzstādīts, varētu iemēģināt? :)

How does everyone like the short shifter? Still find it good, worth buying?

When I had my Leon I had the short shifter from eBay.
Got to say one of my favourite mods on the car! I'm thinking of buying one for my curret car because I miss it lol.

Can't go wrong for £40 :)

Love it! Could never go back to the old one! 10 mins to fit and dead cheap! Highly recommend it mate.

Do the bushes just make it a bit smoother? I.e by fitting just the short shifter alone, will the gear changes stay as smooth/rough as the standard shifter but it will just be shorter?
