Hmm dunno where you could get one of those without getting it shipped over from the US though? My valver could also do with with aligning properly as well but im going to replace the tower selector parts first and go from there as like yourself my 2nd gear is sometimes crunchy and the general feeling of the changes is long and vague to be honest. Nowt like my last 8v after id replaced all the rods, bushes and shifter parts and filled the box with synthetic oil. Now that was well slick.
