Installing an Ultimate Engineering cable gearshift mechanism into a VW T25/T3

I show you how I went about installing my ultimate engineering cable gearshift mechanism. You will need the cab pedestal, universal cab gearshift, cables and the cable gearshift mechanism from a Porsche Boxster.

Great video,the slick short movement of the gearlever is very satisfying to see.No vague "stiring a wooden spoon in a pot of porridge" action there!

Çok başarılı gözüküyor, kit i nereden satın aldınız?

[@georgeanagnostaras3659]

Take a dramamine BEFORE see this video.... Very helpfull thought....

[@monzarace]

Super nice precise slick shifter! Kind regards.

[@Endfloat]

Yeah, and it's actually gotten nicer through use too!

[@Dave_Stafford]

Nice bit of kit. The to do list is getting short, even with the added problems.

[@Endfloat]

Yeah I definitely feel like I'm getting on top of it. The ECU was a kick in the stones I could have done without though, cause it's about the only thing stopping me from taking it for a spin at this stage!

[@fannyschmeller69]

That’s somm piece of kit Ross, if I had of known this shit was available I might have tdi the westy and kept it

[@Endfloat]

Your man you sold the westy to was looking to sell it on recently. I don't know if he still has it though.

[@davewernham7071]

Hi Endfloat , brilliant videos .. so I’m thinking of buying this cable shift kit . Would you recommend this kit ? Is it really a game changer for this set up? Keep the videos coming mate , I look forward to the next one .. soon please ..

[@Endfloat]

Yes I strongly recommend it. It really does feel like any other modern car to change gear in and is easy to install.

Hi my name is Aubrey from SOUTH AFRICA I like to buy the hole kit and how much .and here in S A we don't have that kit and I like to have it for my t3 vanagon thanks for your video can you be in touch have a nice day god bless you and what kind of a gearbox are you using tnxy

[@Endfloat]

Hi Aubrey. It's a gearbox from a B5 Passat with an AFN (diesel) engine. Any gearbox from a 5 speed B5 diesel 2wd Passat will work. I don't sell the kit. You need to contact ultimate engineering in the UK for that. It'll cost around €2000 for all the kit items you'll need. I hope that helps. Thanks!

[@aubreyoupa4882]

Hi Good morning thank you very much for your information have a nice day ✌

[@user-ne4ki5ri4z]

Hi im in South Africa how can i get that complete gear shift upgrade and what would the price be thanks

[@Endfloat]

I don't sell it, sorry. I bought it from ultimate engineering in the UK.

[@wikkidklown]

So is the transmission the stock trans? It looks different

[@Endfloat]

No it's different. It's a Passat gearbox. The cable gearshift was part of the whole conversion process.

Where may I buy for speed gearbox 2.1 dj Caravelle

[@mpmp7609]

Hi endflot, what the kit is made of on the ultimate engineering website exactly please because there are no photos to see the stuff ? thank you

[@Endfloat]

It's stainless steel.

[@mpmp7609]

@@Endfloat Sorry, don't speak well... i'd like to know what compose the kit. i wanted to buy it buy but didn't know i would need a part from a boxster. thought it was plug'n'play....

[@aubreyoupa4882]

Hi the gearbox which gearbox do fit

[@Endfloat]

Please watch through my videos about this conversion. I think you'll find all the information there that you need.

[@CS_247]

Would have been much better if you had Michael J Fox do the camera work...

[@Endfloat]

Not my best camera work it has to be said, but I tried, and I've since invested in a gimbal stabilised camera.

[@halfawhiteguy3145]

did you fabricate this yourself for the t3? what was the total cost?

[@Endfloat]

No I didn't fabricate it. I bought it off ultimate engineering. Get in touch with them. They're very helpful.

[@mohammedboudlal2785]

Hi , how long is this cable

[@Endfloat]

I don't know, I didn't measure it. Long enough to go from the gearshift of a T3 van to under the gearbox and loop around to meet up with the linkage. If you need a definitive answer, ask ultimate engineering. Why do you ask?
