I think it's a new product, as I haven't noticed it before when I was searching for such thing on forge's website.

this is new as i keep looking for a short shifter

i shall be looking into this i reckon!

[M@Turner]

I didn't know about this either!!!

May consider getting tho depending on price, as the B&M that i fitted to my MK5 Polo GTi was probably the second best mod i did!!!!

Nice find!

much of a job to fit?

[RoSonic]

Here's the fitting manual: http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/media/fmvag5qs.pdf

But I'm still waiting for an answer from Forge if it fits or not on Polo GTI... As some guys from VWwatercooled assume that it may not fit... so I'm confused...

[Rich_T]

ok will wait for an answer to

[dkny2789]

any info on this yt guys????

[RoSonic]

nope didn't receive any answer on this...

[RoSonic]

I've just sent them the part number of the part that it is replaced by their part. So they could check if it is compatible... Now we wait...

[RoSonic]

Here's the answer I've received:

"‘the counterweight is in a different location to the normal 5 speed shifter (1J0711051D) but the rod coupling and mounting nut are in the same orientation, as is the quadrant for the side to side shifter. It may just fit, but i can’t guarantee it’"

note: the part number that I've sent them is 6q0 711 046 R.


So my conclusion is that we wont know for sure until someone tries it
