short shifters

[Jass]

All i want to know is how the heck do you fit it, cause on the astra you need to lift the gear knob to hook it in reverse.

Anyone know how to do it without destroying the gear knob?

Hopefully I'll be able to tell you soon!!
It has the lift collar mechanism built in (according to the catalog). It had a picture of the unit and it seemed very un-complicated in design so i dont think it will be much more work than in any other car. cant help you with the destroying gear knobs bit...will keep you posted when or if it happens, maybe i'll watch the revolution guys install it, just in case.

@ Jass:
it will look like a slightly modified version of the current mechanisim/plastic. it's just the locating clip that has to be repositioned to a higher spot.

@Corsa C owners:
I've been looking around at a few wreckers for the part but i've had no luck sofar. I'm also looking for an instrument cluster for my SRi (long story short: i broke the digi display)
but the job "looks" easy to do. making the reverse mech is the difficult part as it's plastic. Or i can make it without and all u have to worry about is accidently putting it in reverse.

I placed my order for the quick shifter from rocket industries, should arrive in 13 weeks, decided to wait for it in order to save some cash on the freight.

I also had a look at mine a couple of days ago. It seems easy to make it shorter, but like you said, the plastic reverse lock thing will need to be lowered somehow. :shock:
