David, Your planned use of a shifter extension will work totally the opposite of the short shift kit. You will find that the play is even more exaggerated as the shiftknob will be traveling a greater distance with each shift. If your goal is to simply bring the shiftknob closer at hand, then fine. The extensions is all you need. However, if your goal is to make shifting quicker and also lessen the apparent sloppiness of your shifter, then go short shift. BenT Nohb |
