Product Details
Description
The APR Short Shifter System is a comprehensive upgrade to the factory gear shifter assembly and is designed to reduces shifter movement, in all directions, while simultaneously improving shift quality. The system provides fine tuning of front-to-back and side-to-side movements to shorten shifts, counterweight adjustments for enhanced shift quality, and upgrades the weak points of the factory setup to provide years worry free use. The upgrade is simple, easy to install, easy to adjust, and leaves the driver spending less time shifting, and more time accelerating to victory. To APR’s engineers, it’s the ultimate solution, but to the driver, it just works!
Quick Facts:
- Fully adjustable front-to-back movement
A slotted adjustment track on the shifter lever allows for precise adjustment of the shifter’s forward and backwards travel distance. - Fully adjustable side-to-side movement
A slotted adjustment track on the relay lever allows for precise adjustment of the shifter’s side to side travel distance. - Adjustable counterweights
Three stackable counterweights allow the driver to change the overall feel of the system to his or her own preference liking. - Stainless steel spline insert
The unique interlocking stainless steel insert prevents the input spline from wearing out over time. On cast and billet aluminum systems, wear of this part is common, which leads to sloppy shifts, component failure and potentially damage to the transmission. - Billet relay lever
The CNC-machined, thick billet aluminum relay lever is responsible for side-to-side movement and adjustment. This piece replaces the thin, flexible, stamped metal or plastic factory pieces. - Billet shift lever
The CNC-machined, thick billet aluminum shifter lever is responsible for front-to-back movement and adjustment. This component houses the counterbalance weights and replaces the factory cast, spline-wear-prone, piece. - Easy to adjust
Adjustment is as simple as loosening and tightening the pegs or adding more weights. No disassembly required! - Easy to install
The system mimics the factory shape making install simple and relatively easy. - All necessary hardware
The system includes new friction material, clips, locking nuts and stainless steel bolts and pegs.

Love It!
Very nice shift kit with well machined parts. I love the ability to adjust the front/back and side to side motion. The shifting feels really smooth and very engaging. Going from a 6 year old stock shift, it made for a better driving experience and brought a smile back on my face!
I dinged 1 star due to the fact that the instructions need to be updated for the 2013 GTI side lever. It should state that you will need to loosen the 2 tower bolts and twist counter clockwise to install the side relay lever (had to search 3rd party forums). Then give the correct torque mount for the tower bolts. Also, update the photos to color...it's 2019 and easy to do in a PDF doc.
IMO, the side relay lever bushing could be thicker and seem it could be the weak point in the setup later down the road.

Worth it!
As promoted, this is high quality, multi-adjustable, easy to install, and operates smoothly.
