As others have said, instructions would be really useful with this product. I followed videos from YouTube but everyone seems to put things together in a different order. You also need the original parts from the old shifter, so if these are worn you will have to purchase them as well. Some of the parts that came with the shifter didn’t fit, such as the round plastic thing that sits over the ball end and I had to use more parts from the original shifter. Once together it seemed loose and things that were supposed to line up didn’t. It feels quite nice once installed however the 2 parts of the shifter constantly come unscrewed while driving, so I am going to have to take it apart again to use something like loctight to keep it from unscrewing while driving. If you’re thinking of purchasing this, I’d recommend spending slightly more in the hope the build quality will be better.

Easy to install, fits the nb 6 speed if you just knock a pin out in the turret. Feels great, solid, strong and responsive too.

Feels great, a lot more responsive than the oem shifter, not too difficult to fit with a bit of patience.

For the very reasonable cost of this kit I highly recommend it, the only part I wish it came with is fitting instructions, however a quick google search lead me to some, when fitted the gear shifts are crisp, short and it feels more like a rifled operation now rather then the sloppy feeling I had before
