Fitted my short shifter and what a difference! Definitely recommend it and for £45 and about 30 minutes to fit! A bit fiddly and getting the old lever off was difficult but other than that it works, I didn't break anything, no cuts and just 1 lump and bruise
I haven't done any before and after measurements to quantify the changes, just gone by feel and the movement of the gear lever has dropped significantly, as you run through the gears it feels so much better and less notchy than before which I wasn't expecting. It makes driving more fun and that's what it should be
I was going to upgrade the shifter and bracket bushes but tbh it feels so good now I don't think I'll bother and consider investing the £85 saving elsewhere. One thing I did notice on install was that the turbo inlet elbow seems quite loose at the turbo side, I'd have thought it should be a very precise fit, presumably it is well sealed but even so...
I've taken a few pictures but I can't get on to my image hosting site at the mo so will post some later.
