If you wanted to, you could use the stick from a corrado shifter in the mk3 shift box, this will shorten the rod nicely, depends what tools you have at the time, if I was to do it again I'd get the correct die as my m12 wasn't the right course of thread, much quicker than what I had to do, but thort I'd suggest it as there's many ways to crack the nut... Anyhow, fitted that shifter setup into my mk2 an now I want it longer.... Much longer so am fabbin a cradle for it to sit on inside the car now to raise it up lol things we do eh
