bulldog 2 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Does anybody have a short throw gearstick, and do you rate it as worth while fitment.I think the gearchange throw is too long as standard, so will probally go for a short shirf.I've seen 2 types, 1 is a new gearstick and the other is some part you change inline from stick to the gearbox.

bulldog 2 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Try b and m "i think" short shifter kits heard good things about themI'd seen the B & M of ebay among others, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130095988423&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=003Do many people do this ? doesn't seem like it, and I find that suprising as the throw is probally longer than anything I've ever owned bar a Transit.

rodney 17 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 It's raining so we all can't be bothered....There is the B&M and If I recall there is a kit made by either the Phirm or Stealth. I forget which. From posts on here every one seems very happy with the mod. I think it is more down to your own comfort zone.The Phirm/Stealth one is a modification so they fit it for I think the £250 mark but I could be way off there. Where as the B&M is a replacement fit it yourself kit.I'm sure the boys will perk up the nearer to the bank holiday and answer in detail... Link to post Share on other sites
