Short shift

Gear linkage is getting a bit wayward on my b so considering changing the bushes n think I may aswell put a short shift on.

Was going to modify my own but don't think that's a good idea ha.

Saw this one on eBay looks similar to lmf kit but 25/30 quid cheaper

Anyone fitted a short shift? Is it difficult/fiddly/time consuming?

There basically the same, lmf one is made to higher standard/use better quality steel

You can see the difference in quality in the pics, but they both do.the exact same thing

There not overly difficult to fit, the bushes can be fiddly

I might just grab an old one out the scrappy n cut a little bit out have a play that way I could get one for a fiver probs and some new bushes on top of that.

WHere is it located? Better looking from top or bottom of the car?

I'll have a nose in my haynes see if that sheds any light too

Other two bushes?

Do you mean the two that are at either end of the linkage? Or the two for the centre that are original/not nylon?

The 2 At the ends

When I bought the 2 for the Center my mistake, the seller sent me a part number for what I really wanted but still couldn't find any for sale

Did you try vauxhall? I reckon somethin like that might only come when you buy the whole assembly

I might give vauxhall a try myself next week

Yeah tried every where, only option I had was to buy a full linkage

It's from Germany but it's the right kit I think.. Has all the bushes etc new. And quite cheap too I reckon
