Had one of these fitted to my QV today! It's amazing.

Couldn't stop smiling on the drive back, it's everything I wanted including making the shifts smoother! In real life terms, the cars so much quicker up to speed now and 3rd into 4th is insanely quick!

It was a bit hassle for them to fit though, but it's worth it! A must have!
The price does vary depending on your engine variant, but cost £60 odd including delivery.

Thanks for the report.
Had the idea a few months ago, but never did the installment. I was hesitating because of the already relativley short shifts. With the short shifter installed do you still have a good feeling which gear is in? I´m a bit afraid of loosing the control and the feeling for the gears.
Did you do the installment by yourself?

I had a garage fit mine.
There's more feel of the gears now!
Agree with the long gear stick, but with the short shifter, the sticks so much more secure and firm! It's brilliant.

Well I ordered it, but could not install it. I tried it thrice, but I could not get the lever apart. Any hints on this problem? (The space is very limited, you can barely reach the nut with the ratchet.) In the installation guide it is simply mentioned to "use an appropriate tool to remove the original shifter"....
