shifter for Golf TDI

Feb 28, 2004 8 Replies

Hi Gang



Just ordered a 2004 Golf TDI ( 5 speed ). I had three air cooled bugs back in the late 70's and had a nice Indy shifter with a "T" handle in that I installed in them.



I still have the Indy shifter which is a nice chrome stick and "T" handle and was wondering if anyone knows if it would fit the Golf (the golf being a



5 speed instead of 4 ) or if anyone knows where I can get a similar shifter for the Golf.

Thanks for the help.

The golf is now a cable operated shifter so it won't work.

On a different note, how long is it supposed to take to get your golf?

PS I love my 99 "new" jetta tdi

With a welder and a little HACKING anything can be done! Do yourself and your dealer a favor and just don't try it!

I was told 2 to 3 months to get them in (Santa Fe, NM), which was too long to wait in my situation. Fortunately, the same week I needed to find a car, I managed to find a 2001 Golf GLS TDI w/only 24K miles and all the features I was looking for. I've been happy with it so far.

It will take 8-10 weeks for the Golf to come.

Maybe this will work.

The 1.8T Golf guys sure like it. Our NB Turbo has way too much shift throw. Rex in Fort Worth
