The REVIN Short Shifter Street for the VW Passat B5 and B5.5 is designed for drivers who value precise gear selection and improved driving feel without compromise in everyday use. This gear lever turns long and vague gearshifts into clear, controlled and fast movements - just like a longitudinally engined Volkswagen.
40% shorter gear range
The shift lever travel is reduced by up to 40% , making gear changes faster and more precise. Shifts are made with a light wrist movement, which improves control both when riding at a leisurely pace and under load.
310 mm height from the tunnel
The extended lever brings the gear knob approximately 310 mm above the gearshift tunnel , closer to the steering wheel. This reduces the hand movement distance and improves ergonomics, especially during dynamic driving and on winding roads.
Chassis mounted construction
The REVIN Short Shifter is frame-mounted , unlike the original shifter, which is often directly on the transmission. This reduces flex, increases stiffness, and makes the shifting feel more mechanical and precise.
Gear Lockout
An integrated locking mechanism prevents incorrect gear selection. Reverse, 5th and 6th gears are only engaged when the lock is activated by lifting the collar under the gear knob. This increases safety, especially in fast-moving situations.
Customizable appearance
The gear lever has an M12x1.5 thread , so you can use the original gear knob or install your preferred aftermarket option.
Installation under OEM plastics
Designed for bolt-on installation under the original interior plastics. The original dust cover can also be retained, and installation does not require significant modifications.
Durable and finished construction
Made from aircraft-grade 6082 aluminum and stainless steel, the anodized finish resists wear, corrosion, and years of use.
