Symborski shifter kit? Options

[mark95turbo]

Has anybody installed the symborski shifter kit on their car? I fabbed up my own ghetto kit tonite because I was hating the way that my 91 TSi felt when I shifted. Well I still dont like cable shifters, but it does feel about 200% better. I basically took the old rubber gromets out, put washers underneath of the shifter plate and drilled\cut some 1\8" aluminum that I had laying around so that the bolt fir snugly through it and placed these ghetto washers on top of the shifter plate. I then re-adjusted the shifter cables and bolted it all down tightly. I can now tell what gear I am in and if I'm all the way in gear. Shifting seriously feels ALOT better\confident, if you havnt bought this kit I would reccomend either purchasing it from Mach V or fabbing your own kit as I did. I also installed an EVO VIII knob which looks and feels great. It shortened the throw quite a bit and matches rather nicely.

It can be much more simple. I simply removed all the soft gromets and bolted the shifter plate directly to the floor with no additional hardware besides maybe one large washer on each bolt. Shifts are firm, and crisp.
