Parts Needed
13mm Socket (3/8 drive or your preference)
Socket Wrench (3/8)
Small Pulley Puller
Pocket screwdriver
and what ever is needed for the engine cover removal.
First, Remove your engine cover following these steps in the following DIY http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=365 or if you have an Aftermarket intake, remove it.
Secondly, Remove the clips on the front to back shift linkage (1) and the side to side shift linkage (2) with a small pocket screwdriver.
Now, You have to check if you have the correct Shift Linkage.
Im not sure on the production date break, But one of the shift linkage ends is bigger. You will need the one with the bigger hole. The Bigger one's part number is ############C It is $17 Through a Volkswagen Dealership.
Next, If you have to replace you stock linkage end. if you want take a permanent marker and mark where the linkage is, for when you put the new linkage on it will be close to being adjusted.
Then Pull back on the Front to back ((1)shown above) shift linkage end like shown and then slide off of cable.
Here is the stock cable end (Left) next to the cable end needed (Right)
Next take a 13 mm socket and wrench and remove the 13 mm nut.
Then take a small pulley puller and take the old shifter off.
Then take the new shift linkage end and put it on the cable where the permanent marker mark is.
Next, I found its easier to put the shifter on the transmission stud but dont line the splines up and first put the sliding plastic peice for the side to side in the new short shifter then match the splines up There is a flat part in the splines that needs to be lined up. Match up the flat part on the shifter and the stud then install.
Make sure the short shifter in installed all the way flush. Then install the 13 mm nut, the nut should be torqued down to approx 18 ft lbs.
Next reinstall Front to back and side to side linkages. and put clips back on. And there you go.
