No need for you to feel gutted at all Christian
With it fitted there is no tension at all in the neutral position. My std linkage springs back to below 3rd gear when you come out of any gear. Made it easy to select 1st as you throw it left and up to get first. With this used in anger I have found myself coming from 5th to 1st looking for 3rd. It can also get reverse straight down from 5th as there is no notch to push it down over.
I binned the two neutral spring tensioners from the normal linkage like it said, but I have it all in bits at the moment looking for a way to refit them again as it may save me a big engine rebuild if I keep it on.
Does yours do it ? Maybe its faulty in some way but it didn't impress me. Dont get me wrong the throw is shorter yes, but it is causing me big problems at the moment.
