i all feels a little notch possibly from stationary, but my gear box always has.  only very briefly tested it.  just to check i had gears.  next drive prob this evening when i can use it in anger as it were, slam it between gears etc.

then i will keep you posted.  tell you how it is.  it just feels so differnet at the moment.

yep gearshift is stiff at first i blve its supposed to free up with time but no probs with reverse and u barely have to move it to get in gear..bit hard to tell what gear u have put it in as 1-2 is ok but 2-3 and 4-5 is just real short

I dont like mine and I\'m taking it off.

It has made the box too notchy, it has not made changing gear quicker at all, so I dint see the point.

Watch the for sale sections soon !!

my gear box felt quite notchy before in all honesty.  but it def makes things shorted etc as red and single says i am not sure if it is quicker yet.  will give you a full run down when i have used it properly.

however as i bought it for £50 it is worth a full test run, lol

p.s. i seem to be able to find reverse easily enough.
