dumb question but why nuts and not tapped holes for the endlinks? Seems like tapped thru-holes would be cheaper to machine than counterbored clearance holes?
Just put this on my manual b6 Passat today. Feels very refined compared to oem. The quality of the parts are even more apparent in person once you’re installing them. No regrets!
Now have this installed on my 2019 Alltrack after the 90 day wait for manufacture. Night and day difference. While it feels normal after two months and 3,000 miles initially it felt VERY SHORT. it's now very notchy. I'm still getting comfortable with quickly shifting given the gates feel smaller but the travel is much less. Highly recommend it!
Just installed mine, and the super pin. Overall, it feels way better and much more firm. I wasnt expecting it to feel so mechanical shifting now, but i think ill be putting on a weighted shift knob to damped the stick feel.
@@Deutscheautoparts i look forward to that. That super pin is awesome, i recommend it highly to a few friends, but they are in the UK and there is no shipping option. Any idea if that will be changing? Thanks
Installed this yesterday on my new to me Golf 7.5R. I watched this and the @HumbleMechanic install video multiple times so I didn’t miss any steps. I would never attempt this without their detailed videos, but it was super easy and I love the end result. Pairs nicely with a weighted shift knob.
The acting in this video deserves an award. You had me at rowing but I don't currently own a VW so I'm sad that I have no reason to buy this. I need to buy another VW.
Can you make a a few minute video where we can legit see the reduce in throw, I want to buy it, but I just had a mk7 tdi in the shop and guy had a full ecs tunning short throw, and that thing was horrible, u didn't even need to push down the reverse, and first was in place of 3rd, good look finding second
He either installed it wrong of had the wrong short shift kit for his car. I have a diesel geek short throw shifter on my MK7 with no issues, everything is in the proper location and reverse works as it properly should.
Installed this about 6 months back and recently my shifting has become incredibly stiff. After some investigation, turns out one of the spherical bearings began rusting and seizing up. Kind of disappointed given this wasn't particularly cheap. Going to be replacing the bearings with the 63215K53 from McMaster-Carr, which should be a corrosion resistant 303/440 SS direct replacement for the ones the kit comes with, (which are presumably alloy steel?)
I just attempted this install. After locking the shifter in neutral as shown in this video I struggled to wiggle the oem shifter out. At one point the shifter moved up way too much(while in the locked position) and now I can’t lock it back into place. Did I just break the locking mechanism??!
Looks like a well-engineered product. The fore-aft throws are long, true, but I find the left-right spacing to actually be annoyingly tight on my 02Q ('11 JSW TDI). With this kit, is it possible to shorten only the fore-aft throw, and not the left-right spacing? Additionally, would it be possible to engineer a retrofit rod linkage to replace the cables? Or is there just not enough room/too convoluted a path?
Did this today on a 2018 golf r. Everything went smooth but not sure if is tight too much because now the shift feels heavy and I hear metal noises especially on 2nd gear, perhaps it has to break in?
I have a question here, I broke the locking pin while installing this short shifter, now i have part of the pin inside my transmission. How bad is this? Thank you for your help.
Hi, i have VW Polo MK5 1.8cc TSI GTI 2015y 141kw 191hp, engine code is DAJA. Current mileage is 240000km, everything works fine, gearbox oil has never been changed, and the gearbox is DSG 7 speed DQ200 dry cluch. Should i change the gearbox oil or not because many people told my in this type of gearbox it is not necessary to change. please help, thanks
Someone needs to make a short shift for the 02A or 02o whichever it is. My 99.5 shifter is holding on for dear life, I already broke one bracket in it 😂
I have a mk6.5 GLI installed dkm stage 2 clutch had such a hard time getting into reverse adjusted everything the way it says to every gear is East except reverse
This is confusing. Does it fit all vag 6 speed manuals? Including 2.0 tdi's in an a3 from 2017? Or a seat leon or a skoda octavia? Your list is very shorthanded...
I am curious how this Holy Shift short shifter assembly performs compared to the DieselGeek Sigma 6 short shifter assembly? DieselGeek Sigma 6 has been well known to be one of the best, if not the best, short shifter assembly for VW’s, and it looks like ShopDAP has almost copied them with this Holy Shift design, and yet, is also selling it for a higher cost than the DieselGeek Sigma 6. So I ask, how is this better? If I’m going to spend more on this, I need to know why? I wouldn’t be asking if I currently wasn’t looking for a new short shifter upgrade. I’m currently running a Forge short shift bracket and ECS billet bushing setup. TBH, this setup is pretty good. Great feel. The only thing is that it doesn’t improve the side to side, so now I’m looking to upgrade just for that 10-20% better feel over what I’m already running.
I just looked at the Sigma 6 on the DieselGeek site to compare. I noticed that DG's kit only includes one cable end (front to back). SD replaces both ends. That additional component would speak to the $20 cost difference IMO. And that end will give you more definitive side to side movements, having replaced the spongy rubber bushing. So there is some difference in the two products. Maybe not a huge diff, but some. Cheers.
Hey there. I accidentally broke the locking pin to the shifter tower while trying to install this kit. 2 questions.... Is it tough to replace that locking pin? Can I install this shift kit without having to lock the shift tower for adjustments? Thanks in advance
I’m hoping you can help me out, I had to remove the shift unit and I got it out no problem, but putting it back in has not gone well. Is there any tips to getting it back in easy?
I dont suppose you know if that shift lever comes out the same on the diesel gt turbo's.. where that white plastic clip thing goes on mine no longer goes on so its just sliding in and out freely so I need to replace it however access looks tight and it appears it won't come out the shaft without removing the large component on the right.. any help greatly appreciated iv had to bodge it with a stubby screw for now
Do you make a shirt throw for 2011 jetta 5 speed? My jetta se 2.5l (298,000 miles btw, and runs as good today as 1 mile!) Bg products have akot to do with that
Great video and great tutorial! It's emphasized at all times that this works for 6 speed manuals. I have a 2016 Jetta Sport (MK6.5 facelift) with the 1.8T and a 5 speed manual. Will this work with my car? or is there another product specifically for the 5 speeds?
I broke my transmission locking pin while installing the holy shift! Was my mistake while pulling the old one out. I guess I used too much pressure. I was still able to install the new shifter successfully. Now I am wondering how hard it is to replace that pin. I found it for $25 but no idea how to remove it, also my concern is…. Could the broken piece be a danger for the gears inside my transmission?
Have you found an answer to this? This exact thing just happened to me. I stopped and I have a couple of emails out to dap and called them but they will only respond to email.
@@paulmartinez1163 i did not get an answer but I bought the pin, I have not installed it yet but it’s a plastic pin and seems it’s no risk for the transmission, I still need to figure out how to install it, seems it goes in with just some pressure so it must come out the same way.
I just bought and tried to install the Holy Shift into my 2009 GTI. Install was a pain in the butt. After I did the initial adjustments to the shifter by locking the tower and dropping the pin into the shifter and tightening up the 14 4mm Allen’s, I lost second gear. I pinned everything again and loosened everything again like Charles suggested in his video. I only tightened two of the 4mm bolts on each arm and tried it all again. Still no second gear. It appears that it is hitting something that is preventing it from going into gear. All of the other gears work fine, finding reverse is a bit different. Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated!!
Anyone know the name of that shaft (9:22) and if there is a vid on installing it? I accidentally removed it and I dont remember if the car was in neutral and I just saw that you can lock the shift knob.
Seems overly complicated with 14 locking nuts on the end links?!? Also, shouldn't there be some lubrication between the plastic selector piece and the selector plate? I would be afraid to do this because the risk benefit ratio is too high without proper tools and experience. Great video, though. Thank you. But I wouldn't build my own bungee jumping harness either! Peace! xo

You guys are so funny and entertaining 🤣😁
😂😂 ahh your such a troll.
I actually like the long throw shifts... Makes me feel cool and important.
Do you like to go to appleB's and play bingo... Because I do
He was also a little on the dramatic side. The reason for this kit is the bushings more so than the throw.
liked... then disliked... then liked again.
Take a look on his website as he might be selling the oar kit also.

Awesome kit guys. I do however reccomended including maybe a plastic shifter locking pin, just for ease of install. Thanks DAP!!!
We started including a metal one shortly after launch. We really appreciate the feedback!
Just put this on my manual b6 Passat today. Feels very refined compared to oem. The quality of the parts are even more apparent in person once you’re installing them. No regrets!

Cries in MK3 XD
I snapped my stud and I don’t have any money so I had my buddy weld the top piece on to the tower lol
Do I order two for a DSG?
Mayve it's just me but this seems to be very much so "inspired by" the Diesel Geek Sigma 6 short shifter
De ja vu ??
That’s cool as hell that it has the dap logo built in and it definitely makes it stronger lol
Long throws don't bother me as much as the junkiness of the selector. Getting one regardless looks solid!
Works and fits awesome. Huge difference. Love it.
Damn wish I knew a mechanic like you!
