Description
Upgrade your Volkswagen 6-speed manual transmission with the USP Motorsports Steel Shift Forks, engineered to replace the weak OEM brass forks found in the 02M and 02Q transmissions. Brass shift forks are known to crack and fail under aggressive driving, which can leave you stuck in gear and facing costly transmission repairs.
USP Motorsports solves this common problem by offering durable steel shift forks for the 1st-2nd and 3rd-4th gear shifts. These forks feature high-strength steel construction and robust welding that outperforms the fragile OEM riveted brass parts. The steel forks are precision-engineered for a perfect fit, ensuring no compromise in shifting performance or transmission operation.
Installing USP steel shift forks before failure occurs is a proactive way to safeguard your transmission, especially if you drive your VW hard or have performance modifications. Replacing both forks at once saves time and money and is ideal when combined with clutch or flywheel upgrades.
