pc85 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) so obviously i have decided not to use the r154 and i will be refreshing the stock 5speed with a good pressure washing and cleaning, new oil, and possibly a short throw shifter if i can find one.MK 1 has a short shifter on e-bay http://www.ebay.com/...item25676d3da1. Would also be curious if anyone has installed this and if it really is a simple bolt on? Edited February 17, 2012 by pc85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Burgandy Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 looks legit. but then again it is ebay lol. if its not a direct bolt on then idk how it would work unless you where brave enough to drill holes in your trans hahaha AND make a new gasket. but i wont be getting one for a while. i found a stocker for cheap. thanks though.
