I've never had one (only a proper short-shifter), but apparently they're clunky and notchy... Not smooth shifting at all.

I had one of these fitted for a while, it did make the box a bit notchy,especially 1st gear when cold. Was better as everything warmed up tho.
I still have it, and was going to offer it for sale. But probably not much point now :roll: :lol:

Yea, its pretty straight forward to fit. It's exactly the same as the one in the link at start of this thread,in fact that could be where i got it originally. Was going to ask about £8 posted. Can get you some photo's if you want.

I've got them fitted to my 4th and my mates 5th, I thought for the price it was a great bit of kit and well worth the price.

If your still have all the gear surround then it may foul and require a little cutting in 3rd gear iirc!
236bhp and 170ft/lb stock :whistle:
