The weather was nice yesterday after 2 days of heavy rain. It was all cloudy (Cloudy is good weather in Delhi) and cool. So I called up my friend and both of us started the Dieselgeek short shifter on my RS.
It was all done in one and a half hour, it took us that long because we started at 7 PM, which left us only 30 min of daylight. Thereon we were working under a bulb hanging from the hood.
So anyway completed the install and it's GREAT. The side to side and front to back movement has reduced significantly and the shift feels amazing shifting from 2nd to 3rd. Anyone thinking of installing a short shifter on their car should seriously consider the Dieselgeek one. It's available at www.dieselgeek.com .
Only damage done was due to a moronic mistake by me. Forgot to plug in the air injection hose back to the air box . The hose lay against the radiator fan and as i started the car the fan cut through it. Had to tape over the hose.
The skoda dealer is asking $80 for the hose and they dont have it in stock. Apparently I'm the only idiot with the RS who has done this, as the service advisor told me that they have never changed one on the RS. So it's a three day wait for them to get the hose from the skoda factory if they have it otherwise they'll have to order it from Chezkoslovakia(15 Days ).By the way can anyone give me the part number of the air injection pipe for the Octy RS. I'll do a seach on ebay.
Anyway the dieselgeek short shifter is great and Jim Royston knows how to take care of his customers.
