All three cabin-side MK4 shifter bushing kits in one convenient, money saving kit!

If your MK4 Shifter is sloppy you can buy this kit to get everything you need to make it nice and tight again! This kit includes these four products: Dieselgeek First Gear Getter, Cable Saver kit, and Solid Stick SHAFT bushings plus the 5mm VW shifter alignment pin and an extra 5mm Allen screw.  Buying this Deluxe kit saves you over $20 versus buying and shipping each kit individually! If you have a MK4 VW you will need every part contained in this kit. This kit will save you a ton of time and money and is guaranteed for as long as you own your car! 

Please note that the SHAFT bushings in this kit cannot be used on the 2000-2006 Audi TT. Those cars use unique shifter sticks without serviceable bushings. Also note that this kit does not fit 1999.5 Golf/Jetta, or 1998-1999 New Beetle. Follow <THIS LINK> to the applicable Deluxe Bushing kit for those early MK4s. 

Kit fits Gasoline or Diesel models:

2000-2006 MK4 Golf, Golf TDI, GTI, 20th Anniversary and R32
2000-2005 MK4 Jetta, Jetta TDI, Jetta GLI and Bora
2000-2010 New Beetle, New Beetle Convertible and Beetle Turbo S

PLUS all Audi, Seat, and Skoda vehicles that use the same 1J0 711 112E shifter stick as the 2000-2006 MK4 Golf. 

Kit also fits many Euro-spec Volkswagen, Audi, Seat and Skoda vehicles. Just check the product pages for each of the bushing kits contained in this Deluxe kit to see if your car is in the applications list for all three products. The 5mm adjustment pin in this kit fits all cars with a cable type shifter.

Awesome

My Mk4 2.8 vr6 with 233 000 kms is brand new
I looked for bushings for a long time but apart from dubious rubber from China I found nothing. I came across this site by chance and thank you again for what you have done. Between the videos and the quality plastic I feel like I have a brand new gearbox. The only drawback is the shipping costs for such a small item. I am in France and I paid as much shipping as the bushing. If you have a problem with your gear lever look no further. This kit is made for you, well, rather for your car.

Eliminates slop from 20 year old rotted bushings. Highly recommend.

Just when I thought my shifter was smooth and crisp these bushings put me in check! Literally, GAME changer while being paired with the diesel geek short shifter. The adds to the overall feel and connection to the car immensely. They did a great job with the videos and visuals. Some of the bushings just crumbled while prepping for the new inserts. Literally, felt like wax and crumbled cheerios.
Not only is the product great but customer service is impeccable. They are active and very responsive!

After 21 years and 233k miles, exactly what my shift box needed!

My Mk4 TDI has lived in the Florida heat + humidity for 21 years. I'd noticed the gear gates were getting a little mushier than they had been, but mostly ignored it. If this sounds like you, don't ignore it!! Change the bushings, NOW!
While running an errand recently, shifting gears went completely down the tubes when the stock VW fore-aft rubbery cable bushing disintegrated while shifting first to second on a major roadway. After limping home in second gear, I surmised DieselGeek's Deluxe Mk4 Bushing Kit was what my Mk4 wanted to get me back on the road.

The kit was thorough, complete, and arrived quickly via 2-day FedEx (for a reasonable shipping cost!). Tyler and Jim's video's were a great help. The circlip is a bugger to get on, but I eventually managed to get it locked into place after numerous, persistent tries. The other bushings were easy to install, and the First Gear Getter pressed in easily in my smooth jaw vice. The shifter alignment tool was a great to have included in the kit, unfortunately something is wonky in my car, because even the mechanic who swapped the clutch for me a few years ago had problems getting 1st-2nd to gate properly. I always figured the issue the mechanic had was the aged bushings. Now that I couldn't blame the bushings, I realized it's just something wonky with my car. So, I watched Jim's 5-Speed adjustment videos a couple of times then adjusted Reverse to lock the shifter side to side motion properly. Then I adjusted 1st gear to get my gate/slot out of reverse in the proper fore-aft location. Now it rows gears better than it has for the last 12 years I've owned this car! I should have done this project sooner, and I am so glad the stock bushings didn't decide to give out while I was on a road trip.

Thank you Jim, Tyler, Levi, and everyone else at DieselGeek. This kit is a great way to keep our Mk4's on the road!
