This is defintely a mod worth doing and worth £52 of anyone's money. Reduces the throw by about 40% and really tightens up the gear changes.
Start of by removing part of the centre console as follows:
1) Remove gear knob and nut from gear stick
2) remove small plastic cover in front of the handbrake by pulling it up, it just unclips.
3) Unscrew 2 screws at the rear and bottom corners of the centre console (push seats forward)
4) Remove 2 fixings either side in the bottom middle of the console (push seats back)
5) Unclip and lift up the centre part containing the leather boot at the rear. You'll see 2 screws attaching the rear to the front of the centre console. Push centre part to one side and remove both of these.
6) Unclip bottom of front part of centre console from the rear part that is fixed inside it and then pull put the rear part and centre parts together.
This will give you access to the parts you need to get to.
1) Pull out the split pin from the spigot attached to the gear stick and remove the gear linkage from the spigot.
2) Locate one of the billet pieces over the spigot as shown in this photo.
3) With a 6mm drill mark the flat part of the gear stick that holds the spigot through the rear hole.
4) Remove the billet piece and drill a 6mm hole through the flat part and it should look like this
5) Relocate the billet piece on the gear stick and fix in place using the 6mm nut and bolt provided and then replace the original split pin in the spigot.
6) Locate the linkage between the holes on the billet piece and fix in place using the spigot and split pin provided and it should look like this.
7) Remove the spigot from the top of the plastic arm of the left and pull out the linkage from between the plastic.
8 ) Fix the other billet piece onto the top of the plastic arm and fix in place using the allen bolt and nut provided.
9) Locate the linkage between the holes on the billet piece and fix in place using the original spigot and split pin which you have just removed and it should look like this
Then replace the centre console and enjoy a very cheap but effective mod.
