Would this kit be a better option to saving up to and finding B&M quick shift kit?

My brother has one on his Fiesta RS TUrbo and it is a massive improvement over the stock item. Not as good as the B&M item though, but then the B&M item is a lot more pricey

All they all do is move the pivot fulcrum point up so it short shifts.

I just modded my very first one by spacing with washers cost about £2.50 and did a similar job

I had a rally design one in mine, was a great mod for the money and was imo better than the b&m as there was no extra vibration.

rally design in mine, much better feel.
also check the universal joint on the selector for play though, if this has too much play then the short shift will be a pain.
