Make sure you disassemble it and turn the lever around as it'll be setup for lhd. The garage I used forgot to do this after I explicitly told them and now it's awkward punching passengers in the leg when selecting reverse.
Other than that absolutely amazing.

You can turn it around in situ. Just pull off your knob and gaitor, slide your shaft out, pop out the leaver, spin round and pop back in the socket, slide shaft back in and pop your knob back with a firm grip of your hand.

I fitted one to mine 14 months back. Done 16,000 miles with it. Only problem I found is that the nuts which go on the shaft are not nylock nuts and even after using threadlock on them, I occasionally find they become loose. When they get loose you can tell as the gearstick suddenly has loads of movement.
Other than that, for £30 its a bargain!

I have just changed my car and my new car has a cheapy SSK fitted well it was from Design 911 but effectively its a highly priced cheapy lol.
this is my thoughts on it
its very short 30% shorter than the stock but the same as the OE SSK . it has nylon bushes which cause more sideways slop than is ideal ,but its liveable with.
when the cars cold 1st and 2nd can be a bitch to get into gear.
I personally could live with it if I had too. but I am looking at the OE GT3 shifter which is 15% shorter than the stock shifter and has metal bearings so it is more of a rifle action going into gear. I also think I would like a slightly longer throw than my current SSK as its very easy to select 5th not 3nd etc. this isnt helped by the lateral slop in the shifter .
This is only my opinion and what I have found since buying the gen2 recently :thumb:
