shady(?) ebay item (short shift kit)

[juliemac57@hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

Well not to be out done.
I put a 3 piece kit on the 16v conversion when I did the bearing kit. The 
side to side was reduced to about 1" and the front back was greatly reduced. 
I like it.
After driving the gold rocc for 10 years with sloppy shifter? It feels nice 
& tight.
