B&M Shortshifter

[oneightoo]

Hi all

Just after some opions/comment/negative reinforcement about this product i'm thinking of getting..

What do we think of this?

Now i might be a little slow but i cant see where the reverse pulley uppy thing is.. and it's supposed to be for a astra/calibra

i'm thinking of buying one..

That would be the groove in the stalk just under the knob.

Bugger to put in I hear.

ahhh i thought it might have been that.. but wasnt really sure..

the website it's on says it's a simple installation.. which means simple for someone who has done it a million times, and a right pain for someone who has never done it before ie. me

how much? and can you order two?

[oneightoo]

it's $309 from www.modyourcar.com.au i dont really want to pay that price, i'd rather find something cheaper elsewhere, but that seems to be only one i've found so far..

[InsaneAsylum]

too expensive

[oneightoo]

my thought exactly, but it would look soooo nice..

If you get a short shifter it makes changing gears faster right?

But when you change gears heaps fast you get the crunch ??

309 is a pretty good price IMHO!!!

i guess that depends on if you know how to change gears properly.. i'd really be after one for the bling factor..
