What is a quick shift kit?
A quick shift kit simply replaces the original gear lever mechanism so that gear changes require less movement of the gear lever. A precision manufactured kit such as this B&M item will also greatly improve the speed and location of each gear change.

What are the benefits?
Driving a car with a quick shift is difficult to put into words. Ask anyone who’s used one and they’ll rave about how it simply ‘feels’ so much better. Positive and accurate gear changes not only improve your driving pleasure but they can improve your performance too. Less time is lost in the actual change, and there’s less chance of missing a gear.

Why fit one to the Golf?
Mass produced cars always seem to have cheaply manufactured gear linkages. They may be OK at first, but a year or two down the line there’s so much slack in the gear change that shifting is more like stirring a bowl of porridge! Often the driver won’t even realise because the deterioration is so gradual.

By fitting a B&M kit to the Golf the throw is reduced by 25%. The feel of the gear change is also improved resulting in a smooth sweet shift which complements the sporty steering and suspension. A machined aluminium lift collar for reverse selection in included.

What’s included?
This kit includes a beautifully machined alloy lever with blue anodised detailing. It almost seems a shame to cover it up with a gaiter. An optional aluminium ‘B&M’ gear knob is included. Detailed fitting instructions and a new tube of lubricant are included.

Which models will this kit fit?
This B&M kit is suitable for all Mk4 VW Golf’s. These were manufactured between 1998 and 2004. This kit will fit models with 5 speed and 6 speed gearboxes.
