Anyone have the Autotech SS?

Re: Anyone have the Autotech SS? (vertigobora)

Hey Vertigobora, here's my 2 pfennigs (after much research on my own)...
The TT/Autotech shifter reduces the throws by about 15-20%, in my opinion, it's not that noticeable. It's still a pretty long throw compared to some stock shifters.
I am probably going to end up getting the C1VW short shifter, they list at US$125 I think (for the 99.5-2001s), and set it to 40%. Their customer service is also quite commendable.
Hope that helps, and good luck on your search!

Heh heh, I seem to be good at saving people money for some reason (got my buddy a set of 17s for $400 the other day through Edge Racing's deal). Anyway, no, I don't have it yet, but it's on the To Do short list. I might actually call them up today.
I've looked at (I think) all the short shifters available for the '99.5-2001 cars, and this one seems to offer the most potential (stock/ 20%/ 40% reduction), the least hassle (brand new piece, you keep the core) and the best pricing.
Anyway, that's what I think

Heh heh, if only they weren't so messy

I fully agree...I got the Audi part from the dealer for $40 (CDN)
Makes the shifter feel "just right" -- definitely not super short, like a dc-sports SS in a Honda or anything. If you want a really short-shift, I'd go for the concept-1 part. But then again, I think a 40% reduction would be super hard on your synchro's...
