    I don't want to compromise the brilliant original design so I'll opt for the short throw upgrade on the original linkage.

      Had a quick listen. That could be one of a few things. Sounds like a tensioner that’s loose or a chain tensioner issue, but without being at the car it’s hard to say for sure. I certainly wouldn’t drive it till you’ve had it checked out

    I like my little short shift on the box the way it is, yes i like the idea of the thing you've fitted BUT, how much is there to fitting it and how much of the centre console am i going to lose versus the gains over what's already fitted that cost a fraction of the cost ? UK

    • @TheParrottBros
      @TheParrottBros  3 роки тому

      If your happy with what you have then there is no reason to swap out for this, this is more suited if your looking to gain height on the shifter and wanted a more mechanical feel.
      If you already have a short shift it’s 5-600£ you don’t need to spend, fitting takes a good few hours and also you need to trim a small part of the centre console
