Any advice please

Just about to put a gearbox and clutch in my 8v ... and after searching threads, was thinking of fitting the shift repair kit, and a weighted shift rod. Are these worth doing while its all out ??

Any tips or pointers on the whole job appreciated

Thanks

Looks like a lampost? You must have different glasses to me mate cos i cant see how it resembles a lightpost!

it does! lol not ya new fangled ones but the old style lamposts hehe



that 'T' shaped piece in the bottom middle , if ya stood it up on its end like when its fitted it would look like an old victorian lampost
