Because the cars have different gearboxes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The rods are same type, but chances are they are the wrong length. You might be able to adjust them a bit.

 

Im sure someone knows if they can be made to fit or not.

ye i know they are diff inside, but if the box looks the same on the outside then surely the rods should be the same.

 

so you all think i need new rods??????????

The rods are different, so is the gear change mechanism.

One of the rods are going on the other side of the exhaust compared to the GTI model.

 

EDIT: "gear change" = lever

3 x rods, plus L shape lever wich you can get from the scrap yard for a couple of quid.

Shorten it to shorten the throw. ie quickshift do you mean.

Also is your subframe pivot point going to be different?
