How much mike?

How easy to fit?

There £40 delivered to your door. They were made to order in america and are not cut and rewelded like some other i have seen.

To fit take the interior trim off the gear stick, jack the car up and put it on stands (the front at least). undo the nut that holds the gear stick in place. Remove and replace.

Silly question maybe, but could I just cut it?

 

[Ian]

yeah you could, this has been done to amandas. Makes a little difference.

dont short shifters actually shorten the throw of the shift, rather than the length of the gearlever, thus enabling a faster change due to the fact that there is less movement required.

Yep
