My friend I use Neuspeed's Short Shift kit and I'm very pleased with it.
The kit reduce only the throw length between gears very much.
Worth trying....
For the side-to-side shortshift.......... I don't thing you will see much difference.

You're talking about this.... right?



I believe you "must" wait.

Install the front-to-back first, play with the car and if something's "missing" go for the side-to-side.

i have the forge front to back one. It made it feel a lot better, changong gear in a car without one now, is horrible. iirc mike_tfsi has the front to back and side to side, and i didnt notice to much difference. I certainly dont have it on my list of mods that i want. more than happy with it likethis.

If its to close you run the risk of missing gears as well
