I did the Shop DAP Holy Shift kit, love it. You should also look into upgrading your bleeder block and clutch line, and remove the swirl valve too. Something I am going to do as well soon.
@@1stockmk7honestly it’s cool man. I like it a lot the throws are shorter. Like for example when you shift from neutral to first - stock you kinda hit your knuckles on the hvac controls depending on how you shift of course haha - with a short shifter you don’t hit it anymore. Shifts throughout the gears are shorter. Not like F1 short but loosely the same as this video if not shorter by a smidge. I like the adapter a lot took seriously 10 mins to install.
If you dont have an aftermarket clutch line, I did the ECS stainless line and it works well. Definitely changed the way my stock clutch felt when I did the cdv delete and line combo, that would be the last piece to your clutch system you’d be missing
550 gram knob from Biketworkz and the DG sigma 6 made a huge difference on my Mk8. I ordered the super pin to see if I can get to Civic Si/TypeR levels of shift quality. Full stainless clutch line, billet bleed block and a BMW clutch stop will round it out for an awesome package.
Imo the diesel geek super pin was a huge change in how much slop was there previously to installing. But it was a pain in the ass ripping apart the whole interior
I did the clutch valve delete, spring delete, billet bleeder valve, stainless steel clutch line, metal cable bracket with solid bushings. I didn't really notice a difference until i installed the superpin 😂
Brother i literally just had one installed to my mk6r today what a freaken coincidence!!! I got an IE intercooler, with a stage 3 daily clutch too it drives like a dream
I would recommend powerflex mount inserts for all three mounts (engine, transmission, and pendulum). That will tighten up your shifts significantly. It didn't add a noticeable amount of nvh to my mk6 after installing them along with the short shift kit once they broke in. Made shifting much more crisp, easy, and engaged.
I'm about to do this on my 7.5. Great video - DieselGeek page has EXCELLENT install procedure instructions too! The alignment procedure at the end of their video is worth watching.
I installed mine not long ago and I did have to realign mine a few times. I had to pull the side to side bracket and the front to back bracket to make it line up properly. I still do have some hesitation from first into second but it isn’t bad. I need to go back under the hood and mess with it a little more
I have the 4H tech short shift bracket with 034 motorsport billet solid shift bushings on my polo, one of the best mods I’ve done makes it feel so much nicer
Follow up with the superpin and it gets crazy notchy. I have the BFI Knob, Sigma 6, upgraded shifter bushings and the superpin and the overall result is absolute minimal play and the feel of a bolt action rifle, lol.
Quick question. Recently got my MK7 GTI, bought it with EQT STAGE 2 and ARM DOWNPIPE with MagnaFlow High flow Catback. Besides intake and Intercooler, what would be a good next step? Inlet pipe? Still on IS20 for right now. Chasing reliable daily power. Not really race car status 😂 even tho at 400HP it’s basically a race car
if the car is off you don't have to engage clutch to shift. You can also do this while the car is on and coasting but you would have to rev match to align the synchros.
@@JewelCity1 bet thanks for responding. I’m running the standard vortex and having some weird pcv/crankcase issues recently wondering if should switch to catch can, maybe I’ll just get a new oem pcv.
The sigma six is definitely one of the best short shifters on the market. I love mine on my mk7.5 R
How much is it?
219$

which is crazy because your shifts are already pretty damn clean.
The Short Shifter I have in my 7.5 GTI is the Boomba Racing Adapter! But a GTI with a Short Shifter is always a must! Period!
How do you like it can you tell a significant difference

By far, THE easy-fix! Did it on my Mk8 '24 GTI. Maybe replace the shift bracket later when things were out
Awesome video it definitely feels a lot better with the short shifter
Favorite GTI channel by far, please make more content ❤️

Bought the DG Sigma 6 two years ago for my MK7 GTI. Absolutely love it still to this day.

Great video! Dude are you still on the stock bottom end?! I assume you’re at least well over 430wtq on E right?
Keep the vids coming!

Can you speak more about the alignment part of this? The results look great

i have the DAP Holy Shift for my Mk 8 , similar design to the deiselgeek but with both brackets/bushings being aluminum
Do you like it?
@@Jessemessler I havent tried any others so I have nothinbg to compare it to but yes, i like it very much. i would recommend it
"Alot of satisfaction from that tightness" 😂😂😂

That's how every sports car shifter should be, Honda gets pretty close to that from factory :)
I see you cruise on the 210 freeway in some of your videos. I live in Pasadena.
The metal insert by dieselgeek is also great but PITA to take the center console out and all that lol
Honestly 🤣
That’s the area where I test my cars out to
Pico lol
Perfect street
Dope I have been wanting to do this to my Mk7.5 GLI
I put epoxy in the rubber bushes which made such a difference
It’s a good day when jewels uploads 😌
Can’t wait to get my hands on a gti
You’ll enjoy it
MK7 GLI with SHOPDAP holy shift kit. your video is awesome though.
Where can i buy this Shifter at 3:35min ?
could you link me to your video regarding reajusting the oem shifter?

Why does that camaro have lights on the side of the car!?
I have the APR short throw in the R best I have done
Di the super pin kit, it removes the slop

Upgrade spark plugs if you haven’t. Inlet will help with spool
Hey bro where can we buy this???? And the bushings a specially thank you if u respond
U should do the aluminum radiator from Mishimoto
Definitely less travel now. Nice!
You've got to race SportyMk7.
Hey Dude, where can i buy it?👀
I thought I heard the clutch slipping when you raced freshkiicks. I run a dkm stage 2 on my gti its awesome 💯
Hey man have you done a 60-130 with a draggy
Hey brodie how reliable is that car I mean I would like for my diary and that and what a clean car 🥶🥶🥶
How were you changing without engaging the clutch
if the car is off you don't have to engage clutch to shift. You can also do this while the car is on and coasting but you would have to rev match to align the synchros.
What kind of clutch are you running on your mk7 GTI, If you don't mind me asking
This one with stock dmf th-cam.com/video/aUMbH3MFxXI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1R7dvlCYn1dFmm2P
Should of went with the holy shift from shopdap.
I have this one too. I like it but feel 2-3 is pretty long. Whatre your thoughts?
Switch shift knobs to a weighted version/different shape to help
@@JewelCity1 I have a BFI shift knob. What do you recommend?
@@microdetailsllc I run the boomba knob and I absolutely love it
@Mk7_kev awesome I'll check it out
No manual no party 🔥🔥
I need this. Goin is38 really shows how crap oem is.
Hey Jewel, I'm kind of new here just wondering what kind of turbo are you running?
It’s a hybrid Turbo from eqt: th-cam.com/video/9oDMZhjeFQo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-dJyCZfpAOgMmW-i
jewel should i buy a gti and sell my s197 mustang??
Do it 👀
I sold my fbo 93 s197 for a mk7 GLI and I’ve been enjoying it a ton
alright ill do it haha, just ordered a mk8 r @@JewelCity1
Yo unrelated but are you running a catch can or oem pcv?
Oem
@@JewelCity1 bet thanks for responding. I’m running the standard vortex and having some weird pcv/crankcase issues recently wondering if should switch to catch can, maybe I’ll just get a new oem pcv.
you need to delete the clutch delay valve !
Already done
did you remove the swirl valve at the fire wall as well? curious if most do that or leave it in with the added NVH with removal.@@JewelCity1
I’m sold lol
The DG is too notchy. I prefer the Neuspeed.
