I like mine, though it is stiffer than stock.
Your going to have less of a mechanical advantage with the different pivot point but that's how you get the shorter throws.

I installed the short shifter (MK1) that I bought from ebay a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely love it, however I have been experiencing increased noise from the transmission within the cabin now. I am getting alot of noise in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. 4th and 5th are still very quiet.
Luckily I don't get the rattling and vibration that others have experienced.
Anyone else been experiencing this increased tranny noise?

my b&m shifter is really stiff. I got used to it. The only problems i have with it are putting it into 1st gear is sorta hard, and shifting from 4th to 5th requires some muscle and a terrible angle.

i also installed the mk1, mind does make a little more noise in the cabin. I think its because the rubber boot does not fit around the mk1 tightly like the stock one. I'm gonna try to get the boot to fit tighter to see if it fixes the problem. But the noise is not in the tranny.
