DRAMATICALLY IMPROVING the 1.8t Beetle's Shifter

Today we install a Megan Racing short throw shifter into our 2002 1.8t Volkswagen Beetle! A common issue with MK4 Volkswagens is the shifters in the 5 speeds wear out and begin to feel less than optimal over time, so we fixed it!

[@antoniovelez8817]

Great helpful video man

[@paulbarrios2640]

I really enjoy your videos man you really must love your cars

[@brandonbarnes5585]

Hey bud. did you not have to adjust the shifter like you did via the factory adjustment pic on the hsifter?

[@christianlores6392]

Would this work on the 6speed beetle turbo

[@obeefjuice7137]

if i got this short throw would this save me on a bushing kit or would i still need to buy a bushing kit?

[@budgettactical211]

Do you have to remove the shifter assembly to install the kit or can you replace everything without removing it

[@2Jonb]

I clicked on the link on your video. Does the throw kit come black like your video? Or it only comes in purple like the link that you provided?

[@ricky7705]

How’s reverse with it?

[@hestonpfheffer1299]

Why you no grease the end of your shaft?

[@jonathanthompson2261]

U change shift knob or keep same?

[@mikehawk6950]

Can I buy one of those adapters? I don’t have Instagram

[@lukestuart8561]

Where did you get the pin that goes in the shifter lockout handle and what kind is it? my kit did not include one.

[@mrfashizleboy9486]

Correct me if I’m wrong but couldn’t you keep the box in the car instead of taking it out

[@fruitfulfigtree2195]

Will this fit a year 2000 beetle 2.0 ?

[@jstmag]

Oetiker clamp pliers arent that bad anymore, can get a decent set for under $20

[@fruitfulfigtree2195]

Do you have to take out the gearbox? You cant just put it in from inside the car ?

[@2wheelfamily493]

Just messaged you on Facebook.

these vw kids and their forehead combovers these days, you use a flat screw driver to open up that boot ring..
