MK4 In-Cabin Short Shifter Kit | ES4768475

Are you tired of wrestling with a loose, floppy shifter? The stock MK4 shift lever assembly relies on plastic bushings that introduce unwanted play right from the factory. After 20+ years of use, these bushings are often worn out, resulting in a sloppy, imprecise shift feel. In spirited driving conditions, this can lead to missed shifts or even shifting into the wrong gear. The ECS Tuning In-Cabin Short Shifter is the perfect solution to this problem.

Say goodbye to those worn-out plastic bushings and hello to precision. Our shifter replaces the old bushings with billet 6061 aluminum, ensuring a crisp, accurate shift every time. Expect a 20-40% reduction in shift throw thanks to our expertly engineered modified geometry design.
We've also relocated the reverse lockout, eliminating the cumbersome OEM press-down mechanism and replacing it with an adjustable lever just below the shift knob. Speaking of the shift knob, we’ve chosen Delrin for its low thermal conductivity, so you’ll never burn your hand on a scorching hot day again.

Not only does this shifter perform flawlessly, but it also looks fantastic. Finished in Type II anodized coating, it features superior aesthetics and durability.
