Shorter throw gearchange for 4x4?

EddyH · 27-10-2004, 09:54

I know a cheap upgrade for the 5 speed FWD 1.8T's is to fit the Audi TT 180 FWD selector arm (P/N 8NO711051A) which is under £20. I just wondered if anyone has tried the 4WD 180 TT item on a 4x4 or if anyone knows if it's shorther than the 4x4.

pretty sure it is.. but havent tried as dont own a 4x4.

heard mixed reports on the shortshift kits for fwd though...

I've been known to complain about the long-throw gearchange when I first got the 4x4 (I'm using the vRS leather gear level with 4x4 logo), but I've got used to it now.

Wouldn't a TT gearknob look out of place in a 4x4?

EddyH · 27-10-2004, 10:42

You don't change the gear knob, just the selector arm which is located under the airbox.

Dutch4x4 · 27-10-2004, 13:57

In that case I might be tempted...

***DGW*** · 27-10-2004, 17:33

How about blazing the trail for us, Eddy?

I know it's been a while since I've posted, but my A3 Quattro has the TT part installed and it shortened the front to back throw nicely,

Since adding the B&M Lever it's been even better

EddyH · 03-11-2004, 20:18

Do you have the part no. and is your A3 5 or 6 speed?

Lummox · 03-11-2004, 23:14

Eddy, you would have to get one off a 5 speed Quattro TT, which are the early ones.

I've got a couple of six speed ones kicking about somewhere from fitting Neuspeed ones in the past, but im pretty sure its different to the five speed.

EddyH · 04-11-2004, 09:37

That's what I was thinking Ross. I'll have a look on Etka when I can get on a PC with a suitable screen.

Any one done this mod, if so what was the result & how easy is it to fit.

Well, sorry I haven't been round much, but the B&M part is: 45114
And a pic / more info can be found HERE

Will try to get the TT part number before we all die of old age

(Oh, and what's up Andy

I see you're bouncing around the forums a bit

)

bengie · 18-11-2004, 18:22

how much does the b&m part cost and can you only get it in plain metal?? i don't think i'd want it like that, leather covered would be nicer
