Runs for cover! I would like to shorten the gear stick by an inch or two, apart from being a bit chavy what are the negative implications of doing this? (i have figured out a way to shorten the sleeve and not loose the lift reverse)

Why would you want too? The seating position is already too high in the coupe, thus making the driver reach down. Why would you want to make the driving position worse?

get yourself a short shift kit instead .

I did this in my first coupe and it didn't work well. It was more difficult to reach it and harder to engage gears. I wouldn't do it again but it's your call!

Don't do it james. Get a short shift kit as Nismo says!

Ok, you've talked me out of it. It just always felt a little too tall to me, probably because I sit so far forward. Saves me a job at the weekend then

a short shift kit will change the feel of the gear change and i think your like it , i won't go back to standard now i have mine fitted , i feels so weird to drive a coupe with a normal long shift

As above really, I bought one of Taffy's short shift linkages and it feels ace now.

i,ve got one of Taffy's short shift linkages too

They're like rocking horse poop though and the misses would kill me, she's already told me no more coupe bits until i get new carpets and radiators (at home).

they don't cost that much , PM taffy and see if he has one .

I have short shifts on mine and they are very good - would recommend.

Ditto, huge improvement

Can you get them for a six speed?

yes James they do them for the 6 speed

Damn, I suppose there really difficult to fit though

No not really.

Search under my posts, I did a basic how to for the six speed.

There you go!

Cheers Duffy, now all i have to do is work out how to sneak it passed the misses

Your on your own with that one!!!

:-)

I've got one on my VT6 and I wouldn't go back to standard.

Not expensive in real terms and if you find one I don't mind if you tell the Mrs I "donated" it to you.

cheers! I'm due a visit to Barbz in the new year for a cam belt so I'll see if he can sneak one in at the same time

hi guys, im from malaysia and was wondering if there is any short shift kit for a 6 spd 20vt?

if yes could anybody post the link ?

how does it actually feel comparing to stock?

Try contacting Barbz at Torque Italia or Taffy on here as they both used to do them.

I have a TI short shift kit on my 20VT6 and it totally transforms the gear change imo.
