Why You Need A Short Shifter

[@tiber4159]

UK Love the short shifter, i'm at the beginning of my journey with my TT. Boost gauge in, boost leaks being investigated currently :D

[@TheParrottBros]

Ooo welcome aboard, bring snacks it’s gonna be a journey with bumps but the community is second to none. Need any help just drop me a message and I’ll help where I can

[@jnrsmooth]

Very interesting and a great incite into short shifters it looks so effortless and smooth with the gear changes a expensive mod but a great one too Excellent video Dom 👍🏼 uk

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks buddy, yeah while it’s not for everyone for those who really are drivers and want to improve the feel it’s definitely something to look at. Thanks man appreciate the support and good luck

[@andrewturvey9269]

Thanks Dom, hadn’t realised this was an option, mine was already fitted with a short shift so I’ll have to see how i get on with third. Uk

[@TheParrottBros]

How funny, I bet you thought yours was close throw not knowing it was done haha. That’s a result

[@crikeymikey3691]

Does indeed look like a better set up for track work and sprints. Hand is only off the steering wheel for a fraction of a second, which is a VERY good thing. Parrot Bros rule! :-)

[@TheParrottBros]

That’s it buddy fit for purpose, whilst not for everyone I’m biyilding this car just how I want it and lucky enough to be able to have the tower. I’m still happy about it now. I went on a trip today 180 miles round trip and every gear change I had a massive grin on my face haha. Thanks for the support as always

[@blakkno666]

Not my thing but fair play If it works for you 👍 Bryn did my clutch recently and changed gearbox oil.. changes are so smooth now UK

[@TheParrottBros]

Yeah I bet, gearbox oil is up on my list Also, makes a massive difference for such a simple serviceable item. & yeah the shifter while not for everyone makes me very happy 😂😂

[@dani390z]

OMG you have had a Leon AUQ, I currently have a Toledo AUQ, love your channel, I am sorry I am not from the United Kingdom but greetings from Spain and good luck everyone with the giveaway :))))

[@TheParrottBros]

Yeah man I have had quite a few random cars over the years. Some not so cool too 😂😂. We have been enjoying some almost Spanish weather this week. Just wish it could last more of the year 😂😂

[@psklett]

Shifter looks awesome I’m still not 100% about having to have all the centre console out and the alterations required though ? UK

[@TheParrottBros]

The centre console can stay you just need to trim a small portion of it out, it actually looks pretty good considering

[@gregr3283]

I don't want to compromise the brilliant original design so I'll opt for the short throw upgrade on the original linkage.

[@TheParrottBros]

a great choice and also far cheaper 😎

[@propertystylinguk]

Gr8 video Dom I have a short shift on mine and yes I seem to miss gears at times🤭

[@TheParrottBros]

Hahaha I know the pain well 😂😂

[@chriswadd3168]

Looks great, just what the UK market wants for our tt.

[@TheParrottBros]

Like what you did there 😎

[@juliashaw5388]

Fab video, good to see the sun shining🌞🌞 UK

[@TheParrottBros]

Gotta enjoy every bit of sun we can ayy 😊 and good luck

[@BWSTT]

Looks sweet- just add some solid selector inserts amd make it crisper than a bag of kettles finest! Uk

[@TheParrottBros]

Funnily enough I have some sitting on my desk waiting got my lazy self to fit them 😂

[@TheParrottBros]

And of course the KZbin elite crisp choice

[@edpagan2103]

Sweet shifter my son hates the OEM shifter. Where can I get one

[@TheParrottBros]

Haha. There is a link in description to where I got mine, I’m sure they will post anywhere possible. If not the details are there for what it is

[@spennyjk3864]

UK great video bud 👌 I’ll definitely be getting a shifter now 🔥

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks man and good luck

[@colinbell9636]

Looks brilliant mate I’m loving how this car is coming together 👌🏻 uk 🇬🇧

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks man appreciate that, yeah I’m really enjoying the car now 👌🏻

[@TheNorville2]

Great looking shifter, more money to spend UK

[@TheParrottBros]

Sorry... not sorry 😂

[@cciaran]

UK who knows maybe I'll get lucky again 😁 Great content as usual

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks man and good luck again

[@pigeonguardgames507]

Strangely one of the things that really grabbed my attention in the TT was the OEM Gearstick, yes its like holding a snowball without gloves in winter, I just couldn't part with it now. Have to say looks good in your car though Dom. UK

[@blakkno666]

Don't forget those hot days when the sun has been shining on it for hours and it burns the picture of the gear positions into your palm! 😂

[@TheParrottBros]

I know right 😂

[@TheParrottBros]

Yeah man I totally get it and it won’t be for everyone and I appreciate that but for me I’ve always like the oem + some crazy cool stuff look. It’s a survivor car, never worth masses but I’ll never sell so just great fun along way

[@pigeonguardgames507]

@@blakkno666 Ohhhh...when the sun comes out, not had that yet...I might have to get some gloves

[@Random_Restorations]

I like my little short shift on the box the way it is, yes i like the idea of the thing you've fitted BUT, how much is there to fitting it and how much of the centre console am i going to lose versus the gains over what's already fitted that cost a fraction of the cost ? UK

[@TheParrottBros]

If your happy with what you have then there is no reason to swap out for this, this is more suited if your looking to gain height on the shifter and wanted a more mechanical feel. If you already have a short shift it’s 5-600£ you don’t need to spend, fitting takes a good few hours and also you need to trim a small part of the centre console

[@louisheath2791]

Looks slick Dom, very jealous UK

[@TheParrottBros]

Haha thanks man appreciate it and good luck

[@martinmoores1701]

Always love the videos I think I'm on 4 pages long with my tt ha ha

[@TheParrottBros]

Haha gotta love a list, mine never really gets shorter just more expensive

[@chriselvin64]

Nice one buddy, better get saving 💲💲

[@TheParrottBros]

Sorry making you add more things to the never ending list hahaha

[@marcinre4588]

UK , now comes the tough decision to make - custom exhaust or short shifter..

[@TheParrottBros]

That is a tough one, think I’d probably get the exhaust first. Only because the sounds are so nice

[@markevans5596]

Never really considered it before but sounds like a good upgrade, cheers!

[@TheParrottBros]

If you enjoy the drive and want to add to the feel of it then I’d recommend it for sure

[@anthonynewcome128]

great vid Dom.. UK

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks and good luck

[@jaybynoth2461]

Great video I was waiting to see this. Uk

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks man and good luck

[@markbingham4016]

Looks good, does it help with quicker gear changes? Uk

[@TheParrottBros]

A little yes as the throw isn’t as far so you have to do less. But would it make you faster probably not but it improve the driving experience

[@victorconstable7341]

UK , hi , I think the shifter is awesome , nice video .

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks for commenting, it’s wicked I love it and good luck 😎

[@timpullen9784]

Looks great that, bet its awesome on track. Did I notice your gauges aren't working?

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks man, yeah the dash pod is on a mad one atm, waiting to hear back from a company regarding repairs. They work about 75% of the time 😂

[@louisbastin11]

UK, every time I see one of your videos it makes me want to spend money 😂

[@TheParrottBros]

Sorry not sorry dude 😂😂

[@jiffers1316]

Have you sorted out a gaiter for it

[@TheParrottBros]

No buddy not as yet, I’ve trimmed the console just enough to fit it snug and doesn’t really have a lot to cover as most of it is the working mechanism

[@simonrichards2327]

Uk. Another great video..😀

[@TheParrottBros]

Thank you and good Luck 😍

[@matthewkitney5826]

UK how many shifter colours can you get?

[@TheParrottBros]

The main tower is always black, knob wise I think 7-8

[@cynicaldad3731]

Looks like a good job but for me i'd rather spend the money on other more important upgrades for my TT Dom. great vid as usual though! UK

The never ending list of things to buy 😂👌🏻

[@nw3900]

I think I may already have a short shifter, what is the standard throw range like?

[@TheParrottBros]

Long haha, have a look on top of the gearbox and it should be easy to see if it’s stock or has an adjustable bracket

[@Mr.Zols.]

Hey man. Been surfing for a short shifter for my fwd 180hp 5 speed. I have found a forge VW mk4 short shifter kit. Do you think that Will that fit? When I search for Audi TT short shifter kit, can’t find anything. Do you think the boot has different size pins/hole sizes?

[@TheParrottBros]

Yes mate, they should fit just fine, usually they are the same gearbox as the mk4 golfs etc 😀

[@squeaktt5134]

UK love the shifter seems effortless to shift

[@TheParrottBros]

It’s honestly a pleasure to drive plus gives me a massive smile too 😂

[@squeaktt5134]

I dont know what there is for the dsg options, you maybe be able to swap the knob out for a later model one so it looks nicer

Bam refers to what engine style it is, so it has forged pistons

[@MarkNealon]

I've got a bad noise coming from my TT's engine... I've uploaded a couple of clips of it-if anyone fancies checking these out and giving me any hints I'd really appreciate it.

[@TheParrottBros]

Had a quick listen. That could be one of a few things. Sounds like a tensioner that’s loose or a chain tensioner issue, but without being at the car it’s hard to say for sure. I certainly wouldn’t drive it till you’ve had it checked out
