Bought one ages ago.  Put it on the vanagon, used a Momo shift knob which
adds roughly 2" to the lever length.  "Falls easily to hand" now as Rod and
Truck usta say.


For bandy legged coots and ruffled grouches this makes commanding the 5sp
much easier from the captains armrest.


No transmission damage related to this upgrade.  However, do remember to
ensure that there is sufficient "float" at the shifting arm on the
transmission should you ever have to  R $ R the transmission.  If the float
is insufficient the movement of the transmission under load will try to
shift out of fourth ever so slightly and wear out your fourth gear in very
short order (1600 mi).
