02M & 02Q Stainless Steel Shift Forks Upgrade Kit - Genuine VW/Audi
It is undisputed that steel offers greater resilience and durability compared to brass, and this is especially significant when discussing the Volkswagen (VW) 6-speed manual transmission. In the past, some VW shift forks were designed with components made of brass, which have proven to be less reliable over time. With regular use, brass forks are prone to breaking, which can result in the vehicle becoming stuck in gear. Should a shift fork fail, the transmission must be disassembled for repair, a time-consuming and costly process that could leave you stranded.

To address this issue, VW/Audi offers Genuine OEM steel shift forks as a robust upgrade. These steel forks are engineered for superior strength and reliability, providing a significant improvement over the older brass counterparts. They are designed to meet the high standards of performance and durability expected in VW/Audi vehicles.
With a Genuine VW/Audi steel shift fork, you can expect:
- Precise fit and compatibility with your VW 6-speed manual transmission.
- Enhanced reliability and performance, reducing the likelihood of failure.
- Long-lasting durability, ensuring peace of mind during everyday and spirited driving.
Why Upgrade Your Shift Forks?
If you drive your VW with enthusiasm, the risk of failure with the OEM brass shift forks is always a possibility. Upgrading to Genuine VW/Audi steel shift forks is a proactive way to reinforce your transmission and avoid unexpected breakdowns.
This upgrade is particularly timely when the transmission is removed for other maintenance or performance enhancements, such as installing a high-performance clutch and flywheel. Addressing the shift forks during these repairs can save time and eliminate the need to reopen the transmission later.
When replacing shift forks in a 2004+ VW 6-speed transmission, itβs essential to also order:
- A one-time-use transmission cap for 2009+ models with a 02Q 6-speed transmission, or the appropriate cap for 02M or 02Q 6-speed transmissions.
- Silicone sealant for sealing areas where no gasket is used.
These components are critical to ensuring a complete and reliable repair.
