Tony, why dont you try the wreckers & pick up a shifter, cut off 30mm & hey presto, a short shifter without throw!

Oh forgot one thing, you'd have to remove part of the weight & rethread for your knob to fit (if you're stlll using a knob that screws on...)

how are they stupid questions? if i asked i would have had my reasons just like you would have you reasons for being rude.

so i have a suggestion we agree to disagree and leave it at that. other users dont wanna put up with it.

if you replace a speedo you must record current klms on odo in logbook in car and put a sticker on the back of the odo with replacement date and klms as if a rwc is done and klms are incorrect they can inspect the car (but still check with transport dept) and cars need proper service follow service schedule and do it on time -- use quality oils and filters
