Just read this bit:

"To determine if this kit is the correct application for your car, first find your factory shift bracket assembly located on the top of your transmission. This bracket is visible by looking below your airbox and battery. Inspect the stock cable linkage that connects to the factory bracket. If the stock cable has a black endlink and no clip, your car has a ball stud mount and this is the correct kit for your car. "

So black end link and no clip can you help further on this? Sorry for being thick its just dont want to get it wrong!!  :grin:

    if u look down on the left hand side of the battery is ,u can see a silver metal stickin up  the same shape as the neuspeed shifter and if u look further u can see the black end link which u can jus take off and see if u can see the ball stud end ....




 Looks like ball stud?? I s this it??

thats the one ......

What is a short shift? What does it do? Might be intersted if your not Rich

  it will shorten the gear changes by 30%-35% ...... so basically mean u will accelerate faster if u  fitted one of these.... also make the car more pleasure to drive .....

Means you'll be in the next gear 0.00007 seconds faster than before!!!  :grin:

 i mean the neuspeed short shift will shorten by 30%-35%  .... not quite sure is 0.0007 seconds faster .... maybe faster that that but anyway thats jus one gear changes ,so if u do a 20 min drive around town how many gear changes will u do roughly ?
