i have one of the kits of ebay and i found it simple enough to fit

was straight forward enough

i done a few searchs on the forums and made sure i knew what i was doing first

here is a link for the one i have and i have a trd ball gear knob,only difference is mine come with some cheap ar$e gear knob

its very low but i like it

lol.. well Im just going to do the Short shifter for now and if it feels bad change the other bits. Im spending too much money lately on little bits (£10 here and £20 there doesnt seem much but it soon adds up :shock: :shock: :shock: )

Yes, top one for where the cables meet the gearbox.

Bottom one for where the shift stick is.

i know what your saying i paid out for a big one yesterday £325 for a clutch so nice to drive now though, pedal is very smooth not stiff like before took them 7 hours though found out on here though its a big job to do and a pain in the ar$e, well chuffed though just thought if i got the short shift kit and new bushes it would compliment my new clutch like you said £10 here £10 there all mounts up. what really scares me on here is when you put your mods and money spent on your profile i must be up to over a £1000 by now only had car for 7 months such a large amount in a short time for me :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:

Is the blue plate bit just used as a Spacer?? If so is it not just possible to just use some washers with the same thickness??
