Description
GruvenParts.com is proud to release the billet stainless side/side cable reduction bracket as well as solid stainless fwd/aft cable shift repair blocks for the 02A cable shift VW vehicles.
The side/side stainless reduction L bracket replaces the black plastic OEM side/side transfer bracket P/N 1J0-711-256 (1J0711256) or 1H0-711-250 (1H0711250) or equivalent. Our version will reduce side/side throw by about 35% and remove a known weak plastic failure point. Our stainless version can literally withstand you driving the car over it, so this will end any nonsense which the plastic OEM part causes.

In addition to the replacement stainless side/side transfer bracket, we also produce stainless repair blocks for the forward ends of both cables where they meet the transmission. These repair blocks will quickly replace the weak forward ends of the factory fwd/aft and side/side shift cables where they connect to the transmission linkage. It is also commonly used for "side of the road" repairs when the cable ends break. Simply tighten down the 4 stainless internal hex bolts to grab the cable and use the existing hardware to re-attach the cable end to the transmission linkage. The factory shift weight on the fwd/aft cable is retained, and these parts add even additional weight for smoother shifting. If your cables are not yet broken, these are a good idea to keep on hand in the glove box and be prepared for the inevitable!
There is no need to source an entire shift cable mechanism (which is very hard to find, and also quite pricey) in the event of a broken forward shift cable end. Simply install these repair blocks and you are back on the road and ready for action!
These parts are all made from stainless steel block and utilize all stainless fasteners, so there is never a worry about corrosion. You will need to carefully trim away a bit of the cable outer sheath to provide access to the cable itself to install these repair blocks. You will also need to adjust the cable shift mechanism after installation.
You can buy these parts a la carte, or together as a kit and save. Just chose your option from the drop down menu.
These parts fit the manual 02A transmission and automatic 096/01M transmissions commonly found on MK3 and MK4 Jettas, Golfs, GTI's, TDI’s, Beetles, Passats, and Corrado VR6. If you do not have either the 02A, or 096/01M transmission, please email paul@gruvenparts.com with a picture of your linkage system where it connects to the trans before ordering so we can verify correct fitment.
