Id highly reccomend the Japspeed kit. Great price and really sharpens up the shift

I had the B&M on mine but I pulled it off as I constantly missed gears. Quick shifts work well on classic cars but on newage don't bother

just a quick one when you do get round to fitting it give the circlips a check before fitting, as the one i had they had no spring in them & the gear rod pulled out its base i had a right job removing it
