Every body with Mk1s seem to go with the le mans but there are some real nice ones out there with the gate change on top...

there you are. I bow to Cerealsurfer's superior knowledge. Not the first time he's had useful top gen!

The short shift kit also removes the vibration isolator half way up the stick so makes it even shorter - with patience and creativity you can remove it yourself and save yourself the cost of the kit. It is best to remove the entire stick and leather shroud from the gearbox/tunnel though as any mestakes have big impacts.

This momo gear knob sits very low on the stick as well and is weighty enough to smooth out the shift a little given you have to put more arm into it.

This is my one, Momo.

That's the kitten

Looks the dogs vab leaving mine standard as the wife struggled a bit with reverse with the short shift,the handbrake is a two man job so this may just tip her over the edge.....

They all used to come loose Mike

- that Momo one looks excellent Chris.

Cerealsurfer - who (still?) sells the short shift kit?

Cheers

Thanks, with that knob it's got the shortest shift of any car I have ever driven.

I agree with Mike. I hate fiddly little grub screws which so easily strip. Easier to line up a badge or engraved topped knob but I'd still go for a good screw thread.

I'd also love a very delicate gear lever and knob rather than the hefty things they fit these days. I was sitting in an early Lotus Elite a couple of months ago and that has a lovely delicate lever.
