    If you replace the clips which clip the cables onto the gear selector that will reduce the play in the gear stick.

    I fitted the TT short shifter to my car the other week, made absolutely no difference what so ever to the gear stick movement, but others have said it made a difference to them - so it might depend on the gearbox you have.
