Not fitting one

Can be a bad idea on T5, you can change quicker than the synchro can keep up or something like that

Check it out on one of the search engines.....

I sent three to Mike Rainbird from the States (USA) and they're brilliant. Mike used to have one on his Sapphire and Charlie B also used one.

Give Mike a call and see if he still recomends them. If you want one, I can get u one from the USA (I'm working over here at the moment) and i'll be cost price +
p&p which is cheap from the states.

Give mike a call and let him tell you what he thought of them. I have one on mine and love it. Plus it has "over push" limiters which stop you damaging anything in "Red Mist" moments.

Berni (gearboxman) told me that fitting a quick shift is not a good idea for the reason mentioned above!
