I've got the complete 4-crawler weighted linkage kit on the Golf, it's great, except for two minor irritants- the relay ball "cover" replacement that comes with the kit is very tight in the bracket and makes the shifter stiffer than I'd like. I'm hoping it will eventually loosen up with wear. Also, the jamnuts on the adjustable linkage ends have loosend themselves up a few times, some locktite should be used probably to keep them from moving. But make sure everything is adjusted before you do that.Also, I did not realize that you needed to take the complete shifter shaft out from the bottom of the car to install the shifter "repair kit" inside the car. I should have done that while I had the engine and everything else out, because now there is slop in the ball/stick inside the car. Oh well, live and learn.Brendan
On both my mk1's i took one of those mk3 weighted shift rods and cut one of the ends off. I cut a end off the mk1 rod to the correct size to make up for the difference in length(mk3 rod is shorter than the mk1 rod). I also did the "dan j reed mod"http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2471732.Ill have to grab some pics, the shifting is awesome and alot more firm now
