Well, I've been upgrading my Westy so that it handles like a
sportscar... you knew the short shifter would be coming soon.

I bought the short shifter kid from Volks Cafe. Fairly easy to install
(took me 15 minutes). This kit comes with a shifter extension (to raise
where the knob is). That's one aspect of the kit I didn't like. The
extension adds about 6 inches to the shifter, which is just too much
for my tastes.

The kit refers to "the included locktite" which wasn't. Not a big deal.
I didn't really notice the "short shifting" aspect until I move to
third gear. :)
