I put it in while at Jake's shop,but didn't get it adjusted until I was in the car (un)ready to go out for qualifying. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) Pete worked hard to eliminate slop in the rest of the linkage but I still had some problems with missed shifts during the race. Mostly I think it was because I had it positioned too far away for quick engagement into 4th and I ended up in neutral instead. I used the lower pivot for less throw reduction. This weekend I will use the upper pivot position instead. There is probably more adjustments I need to do to get it in just the right position for all gears too.

Chris, sorry I didn't have any instruction to go with yours - they were not written yet.

You should try the heavier springs (gold stripe) - there are spacers to go under the springs to fine tune the feel. A little lighter on the 4/5 side (that's the left spring) is better ergonomically because it is harder to push that direction than pull toward you for R/1.

Also, pull out the stick to change the pivot - there are bushings inside so you can't just swap the bolt.

You do need to get used to pushing over to 4th, but it makes the 2nd and 3rd gear shift so much better that it is worth any learning curve.
