Dieselgeek MK6 Super Pin and First Gear Getter Combo Comprehensive Installation

[@jimbz20]

This is cool and informative but how is it done while it's inside the car?

[@dieselgeekdotcom]

You have to pull the center console trim. We have a video on that.

[@jimbz20]

Are you letting the eboxy set in 4-6 hours or cure in 15-24?

[@dieselgeekdotcom]

You need to let the epoxy fully cure. You really want that drill guide to be adhered securely so that you can center drill the pin to exactly 5/16.

[@jimbz20]

And how long after can you drive the car with the epoxy going in the first gear getter?

[@dieselgeekdotcom]

After it fully cures. It's really all there in the video.

I am looking for this exact first gear getter (the white peice of plastic replaced by that black one) for skoda octavia and i am struggling fo find it in the UK or anywhere, please help me get one or 2 of those? Thank you

[@dieselgeekdotcom]

Shipping to the UK is no problem.

[@rickysparks534]

How deep does it need to be drilled? Just enough to remove the rivet head?

[@dieselgeekdotcom]

Yes

[@matthewlee2686]

Why not just center punch it before drilling it?

[@dieselgeekdotcom]

The 5/16 inch hole must be perfectly on center and on axis with the pin. This is best accomplished using a fixture, hence we supply the drill guide.

[@rickysparks534]

​@dieselgeekdotcom so no need to drill in to the bell crank also? Thanks for getting back

[@dieselgeekdotcom]

You need to drill it using the drill guide and the 5/16 in drill bit until the bell crank releases EXACTLY as we show in the video.
