I have heard of this mod being done but could only find 1 forum post about how to do it, so I thought why not film it and make it easier for others to find

AWESOME buddy... Ive been wanting to do this for awhile but reading about it made it sound so complicated... the fact you filmed it and explained has helped tremendously.... Thanks for posting buddy. 👍👍👍

Wow first thank you mate 🤙 That the reason I made this channel and theres loads I wanted to do to my van and was struggling to find the correct info, when I did find the info it was like reading print. Confusing and made to sound really hard. It's not well some things are easier then others. But I'm glad I have helped and you have found how easy it is 🤙

@@PranceProject You're right buddy, reading it and trying to visualize it (even when your under the van and not knowing what part they're talking about ) is a nightmare for me.... You even explaining and more importantly 'showing' the right place on where to drill the yolk??? Was a great help. Keep it up buddy and keep us all posted on your jobs. Enjoy the T4 mate. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great video and How To mate ; ) A highly recommended mod, makes a world of a difference. I did mine years ago, a 2003 2.5 TDi .................... kind of gives the shifter a sporty feel to it, and you happen to mention in your vid, it doesn't feel as though you're driving a truck anymore! I also got rid of that ridiculously large OEM steering wheel, and installed a Momo steering with Boss, so my steering is about 4" closer to me. Many thanks for the video mate, I'm sure it will help out an awful lot of people. Even people who didn't know this was possible! TURK

Just to clarify its the bar that goes from gearstick to the metal plate that needs to be reseated closer to the middle of the plate. I was so confused by the video as the aspect kept changing it confused me and my mechanic into getting the wrong side of the plate drilled.

@PranceProject 4 жыл бұрын

Sorry your gears dont seem to be going in. No it's not the rod that goes from the gear box to that plate, I didnt really make that part clear, it's the drivers side of the plate that needs relocating that rod that goes back to the gear lever part. At 5.41 in the video you can see what I mean. Sorry that's unclear but u need to relocate that rod that goes from the gear stick to that plate, hope this has helped you 🤙

Hi can’t get 1st an 2nd gear is it the shaft under lever where pinch bolt is as can adjust that so maybe it’s in different position now.steve t4 2.5tdi 102.ive just put new bushes on and as gear stick broke off had to replace gear tower too.

@PranceProject 4 жыл бұрын

Your having problems with 1st and 2nd and u havent got the short shift? If so that means it's the bushings that are on top of the gearbox, theres is three I had to replace mine there cheap and easy to do, I couldnt drive my van without short shift now makes so much difference, inwas use to mine without short shift aswel but having a shorter throw makes life so much easier
