Adapter Plate Product Description:
This extremely durable and high-quality adapter installs easily onto the existing input bracket on top of your MK7 GTI/Golf R transmission. No OEM parts need to be removed or modified during the installation process. Once installed, the adapter plate reduces shifter throws by 28%. CNC machined out of billet steel and weighing in at 270g, the increased weight aids in shifting momentum and positive engagement, improving the overall feel of your shifting experience.
The adapter bracket is designed and manufactured in Boomba's own facility, right here in the United States, and all mounting hardware is included. All adapter plates and hardware are zinc plated for durability and excellent appearance. A definite mod for daily drivers as well as autocross and road racing enthusiasts alike!
- Also fits: MK7 TDIs with 6-speed manual
- Also fits: MK7.5 models
Knob Product Description:
Weighing in at a solid 440g, the stock knob only weighs 100g.
This shift knob reduces the throw of your shifter by 28% over stock by shortening the height by 2 inches. Pair this with our Short Shift Transmission Adapter for a combined reduction of 48% over stock.
These shift knobs feature a precision CNC machined brass core for added weight as well as a Delrin shell for durability, excellent appearance, and ‘temperature management’. A heavier shift knob puts the weight towards the end of the shift lever. This increased momentum while shifting provides a greater mechanical advantage, allowing for a much more positive feeling throw when rowing through the gears. The Delrin shell, with a laser-etched Boomba logo, prevents the surface of the shift knob from getting too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. These shift knobs make a great addition to your MK7 interior! They are secured to your shifter with various set screws.
This shift knob is designed and manufactured in Boomba's own facility, right here in the United States, and all mounting hardware is included.

Great!
Simple installation and amazing transformation of the shifting experience! This mod is the best bang for the buck I've done on any vehicle. As previous review says, shift kit with stock knob was big improvement and adding the Boomba knob is icing on the cake! This setup works as advertised.

Just installed this kit and love it. First installed the adaptor and went for a drive, and man you could notice how the shift throws have been reduced even with the stock knob, and just the feeling of shifting is better. the knob looks great, nice and heavy too, its the cherry on top. Install was simple as well
