Boomba RacingShort Shifter Adapter Compatible with 2015-17 Volkswagen GTI/Golf R

It took maybe 15 mins to install with real basic tools and what a nice feel. Shifts are shorter, crisp and has that nice mechanical feel to it. This is how the GTI should have shifted from the factory.

i put this on my 2019 GTI. I was really expecting to not like it and return it. I figured i might end up with the Audi TT short throw instead as i really wanted it to feel OEM. I installed this in about 20 minutes, and i LOVE IT. Cant wait to get out and drive again. Super smooth feeling everywhere. Everything feels tighter overall in a good way. Downshifting from 3rd to 2nd is great.

Install was a breeze. The installation videos posted on Boomba's website are well done and easy to follow. Install took me about 20 minutes and you just have to pop the airbox out. You do not need to disconnect the wiring. You'll need a 4mm hex key and it will be easier if you have a T-handle one. You can do it with a small key, but the fit is tight and you'll be bumping your knuckles. Once installed, the gearbox feels tighter and the play in the shift knob is greatly reduced. You'll notice it immediately. I think it's a useful and valuable mod for the price.

The shifting is much more responsive. All the slack and travel from the stock shifter mount point was removed resulting in heavier more confident shifts. No more missing the gate or partial gear engagement during shifts. Install time takes about 20 minutes if you go carefully. If you need to get back into the shifter linkage area, it'll take you 5min.This is how it should be from the factory.Construction is a from a single piece of milled aluminum billet.

Great product, shortens throws quite a lot. Extremely easy install.

Took me 20 minuets to install, love how short shifter works, thanks for quick and easy upgrades.

This shifter was a bit too stiff (in my opinion) to use every day but it reduced the throw by a lot, which I liked. I do appreciate Boomba’s customer service - I was able to get a full refund, no questions asked. Hard to find good service like that these days.

2016 VW MK7-RShipping: great.Honestly, this is probably one of my top 2 favorite items I bought for my MK7 R. Reasonably priced and you don’t have to mess with the actual shifter. This is installed under close to the intake filter area.Installation: easy. If you’ve installed an intake, this is in the same area. Took me 5mins to install. Watch a video.Feel: the slop is still there. But…the distance/the throw drastically changed. Much much shorter. Easier/faster to shift into second from first. Downshifting/rev matching is easier as well. And rev matching to 2nd gear became much faster/easier. It takes some time to get used to it, and also finding neutral. But after some driving, you’ll know where the gears are. What’s awesome too, is that it added some sort of “weight” to the throw. Which is a nice touch. Step above stock, but definitely not too heavy.All in all, $110 for a great upgrade to your “shift feeling” is totally worth it. Considering other modifications you can spend your money on.
