shifting in something other than your own for the first time is usually awkward and different. I bet if you did it for a long time you'd get used to it.

I think the clutch throw is too long as well as the shifter being blech. Although having gotten accustomed to my dad's TT it doesn't annoy me as much as when I had my GSR.

TT is better :chuckles: maybe the shorter knob? :dunno:
and I guess it's preference thing on the clutch travel. I always hated short clutch travel. harder to modulate with my weak leg

i can see what you guys are saying about VW shifters, but i like em personally. its very easy to drive a VW smoothly, its just that the shifters dont like to be rushed. theyre just so easy to drive, whereas my gsr was a bit more involving. it took me a good few weeks to learn to drive the gsr smoothly, and even then it took some effort. the VW drives smoothly all by itself it seems.
