Title: mk1 4spd->5spd
Post by: oblique on November 16, 2024, 02:14:37 pm

anyone done a german 5spd conversion? My shifter linkage is unlike anything Ive encountered before. 1.5D, I forgot to take pics while doing bushings but Im at 3500-4000rpm at highway speed limit right now.

Heres what my linkage looks like:

 Mainly 22 needs changed, 15 gets changed to match it.
 Seems like 54 gets changed to the black one and the other rod might need changed.
 Some people say the rod from the shifter needs changed but I don't think it does.

Thanks for the insight.

Right now I have metal to metal where 26, 27 and 29 should be. I can find 26 and 27 but 29 (803711195C) is only seen on specialty Euro sites.

I looked around for a while and couldn't find any for you online.

i believe a few other people sell it as well, and they'd be worth looking at for any other parts you may need. USRT and check out the missing linkz shift linkage website

Found the bushing here but it is not cheap and will likely be pricey to bring over
