BD short shifter installed today

I'm not easily impressed, and seldom see something that is easier to install than advertised, and works as well or better. I installed my kit today in a leisurely 45 minutes. Surprise was that throws were shorter than the one I drove a couple of weeks ago. Disappointment was that the shifter position was not altered as the previous example (lower and closer). Sooo, I visited a retired machine shop ower friend and two tweaks later with a tubing bender I had the shifter exactly where I wanted it!
Reminds me of a short shift kitted VW I had years ago. Doesn't go "snic-snic-snic" like my Sunbeam Tiger, but I'm still a happy camper.
