TTRS one is a great OEM alternative  :happy2:

I think PSI tuning did their own too (not sure if these are still available)

I was looking at one when at AKS a few months back as I had considered fitting one. After getting my hands on it I was a bit disappointed. Quality of the casting is not very good. Extremely rough and not very well finished. Yeah, I suppose it doesn't need to be perfect as long as it's functional but for that type of money I would like to see something that is nicely finished.

As for feel I can't commented as I have never had one or felt someone's car who has.

There are a couple of options. There is a seller on ebay that does a cheaper alternative. Looks the same as the Forge one. Or I think Damoegan on here can modify your standard one. Not sure if he is still doing them though.

I fitted some products in this order

Forge Quickshift (Set on shortest) made a huuuuge difference to my Leon FR TDI and Leon Cupra R
Forge Side to Side - Not worth the money
42 draft Design bushes - Once again a huuuge difference
AKS Tuning Gearbox bushes - Seem to make a positive difference again

Ive only got an S3 shifter, but even then I find my clutch struggles to "keep up" with a quick shift or two

The tt, edition 30, tts and s3 all use the same linkage I believe, as the part numbers are the same

I seen a post from VRS Alex saying that the ttrs linkage was a completely differant set up - do you know anyone that's actually had this fitted to an edition 30 ?

Yea I will be going for the draft shift bushes but ill need to wait to see what linkage ill be using first incase if effects the bush size, I hear the bushes make a big differance  :happy2:

Just fitted the 42DD bushes and oh my god, they make a huge difference... My rubber bushes had loads of play in them... These make it feel so much more precise!

A MUST mod for everyone I'd say!

Where did you get them from Dom? As I know there's a few different codes for different years, I want some but can't figure what I need for a 07 ed30...

I got mine from Awesome GTi... Checked they had in stock first though and delivery was quick...

Mine needed the MY06 on my '07 car... Just went by the shape of the ends...
