I want to improve the quality of the gear-changing action of my A2. I've read on the Forum that there are a couple of ways to do this : (1) Fit a new style VAG tower shifter, and (2) Fit a "Diesel Geek" super shifter. I've sourced the first item and I'm about to purchase it. The super shifter has to be ordered from the U.S.A. Fine, in my standard impulsive way they'd have been on their way to myself by now. HOWEVER, there is a small hitch to solve! I have a six-speed box and there is some mention of a gate ( in the new shifter?) needing to be modified to allow for the 6-speed action? Can anyone explain further what that's about? Now when my gearbox was modified, was there any modification that needed to be made to my existing tower shifter? If so, then wouldn't the new design shifter also be easy to modify? What I'm hoping for is to "get the nod" from our Forum to go ahead and purchase this new and improved tower shifter. I have looked at the exploded diagram of this shifter and it isn't too obvious where that gate is located? It would need to be able to be able to be easily removed and carefully modified/filed to produce the further shift path required for the 6th gear. I hope that I'm correct in assuming that the super shifter works in tandem with the new tower shifter? So should I go ahead and purchase the tower? Thanks
