Quick shift gear lever

[Rich]

In my car the gear lever is nowhere near the dash when in third. Wonder what the difference is?

The shift on the kit is supposed to be extended, presumably to avoid these issues. Mine is still standard length, so gets close to the dash without the quick shift kit fitted.

The MK3 was designed to require 62 mm added to the length of the two rods, that still left the lever too far forward, bending the lever helped, that could be the difference.

Approximately how much travel is the gear stick reduced by. Thinking of getting one for my MK 2.

I would say a good 50% left to right, and 25% forward and back as an estimate.

I'm guessing but would say 20-30%
