FYI to the everyone asking about for info on the Gene Berg short shift kit
<snip>
Vanagon Quick Shift
This nifty set shortens the shifter travel by about 25%. The extension gets
the handle up and over, closer to the driver so you do not have to keep
reaching for the shifter. Makes it a pleasure to shift, the way it should
have come from the factory. Originated by Gene Berg in 1984. Made in USA by
Gene Berg Enterprises.
GB 6780 Easy shift kit for 12mm shaft. Includes GB 6790 and GB 6782. SW 5#
GB 6782 5" extension for 12mm shaft. SW 2#
GB 6785 Easy shift kit for 14mm shaft. Includes GB 6790 and GB 6787. Mid
