Unhappy 1.8T-5 spd. Funny shift feel

I need to know if there is any way to improve the feel of the shift in the 5 spd. VW should offer the same 6 spd as in the new VR6 as an option on the 1.8T. Give me websites of any aftermarket tuners that have products to make it better. Thanks.

Really, Im pretty sure that only the VR6 comes with a 6 speed. The 1.8T engine comes with the wobby feeling 5. I read about the changes that VW was making to the GTI/Golf for 2003. The 3 spoke leather wrapped steering wheel, Leather wrapped shift knob, and the leather wrapped parking brake handle all come standard for 2003, I dont remember anythig about the shifters though.

It depends on where you are located: I live in Norway and here the 1.8t comes with the 6-speed and ESP standard, but not in the US.
