Reduce throw and height while gaining more precise and effortless shifts with ECS Tuning's Adjustable Short Throw Shifter and Black Forrest Industries Heavy Weight Shift Knob SCHWARZ package featuring black air leather with a red 6-speed coin!
ECS Tuning's leading R&D team has put in countless hours to engineer the best shifter for the B8/B8.5 chassis in the world! Keeping in mind that not everyone wants the shortest possible throw, ECS has implemented four settings of throw adjustment, providing up to a 43% reduction from the factory. Additionally, ECS has integrated a feature that allows you to independently adjust the height of your shift knob, ranging from factory to 75mm lower. The ECS Short Shifter allows you to fine tune and personalize the shifter to your liking for the best overall shifting experience.
BFI just raised the bar when it comes to one of the most frequently touched parts of your car's interior. This heavyweight shift knob feels like butter in palm of your hand, thanks due to the top grain perforated air leather that it's wrapped in. Weighing in at approximately 215 grams the added inertial mass makes shifting effort substantially less while speeding up the process at the same time. While They've borrowed inspiration from shift knobs past, BFI really perfected the proportions this time around- with the 3/4 leather to metal ratio. Visually this thing leaves nothing to be desired. The machining is top notch, and the detailed crest coin gives that classy yet sporting look which elevates any interior's level by at least 50 cool points! The included adapter is used to work with just about any VW/Audi shift lever. The knob's adapter is secured using three set screws for all models.
ECS Tuning's Adjustable Short Throw Shifter is mainly constructed of billet 6061-T6 aluminum for structural strength and weight savings, a 304 stainless steel shaft designed to retain use of your OE shift knob, mated with a maintenance-free 440c stainless steel and self lubricating bearing. The shifter plates secured at the base are produced of nylatron, a material that offers a friction level 2.7 times lower in comparison to brass, offering superior wear and noise resistance that makes it an ideal material for slide plate applications to extend part life. ECS Tuning's Adjustable Short Throw Shifters are engineered, manufactured, and assembled in the USA. You won't find a better combination on the market.
