Snabb short throw kit.
Has anyone here fitted one ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14gmpnwvUyI The gear change is 'ok' on my '99 T5 but occasionally it feels a little vague and I find myself leaning forward in an effort to make sure the lever is 'home'. I'm new to the car so I realise we will eventually mesh, but the thought of a shortened throw really appeals, probably because I can move through the 'box with one finger in my other car, an '04 MX-5..... the gear change in that car is like working a well-lubed rifle bolt. |

I haven’t but I’m interested in this. Seems fairly easy to install.

I’ve got it in my C70 for the last 4 years maybe. Never had an issue and it’s been great. I also did the Delrin Shifter assemble kit as well and that makes a difference. I went through Snabb US as there wasn’t an agent in the UK at the time.
I had a slight issue with the wrong size spacers sent, just emailed them and correct kit was sent. http://www.snabb.us/Stainless-Steel-...-S70_p_64.html Brian Last edited by Spawned66; Jan 25th, 2020 at 08:16. |

Do you think you could make a short shift kit up and retail it (very nice stuff in your link by the way) for say, £40, and still make an honest profit ?
Theres an opportunity there I think. £80-odd for the Snabb is a little OTT.... Mines a '99 V70 T5. Any pics of your bumper extensions on a similar car ? I'm having my bumper repainted soon so is it an easy fit ? Fog light mounts unaffected ? |

As said these can be machined up for pennies plus you can actually make it alot better than snaab.
But you wont find me paying that sort of cash |

So, would you be willing to make up kits and sell them to members then ?
I'll be your first customer. |

Yeah, I'll take one if you do.
I'm new to Volvos. So just to be sure... It'll fit an 02 V70 T5? If so, I'm your second customer. I am enjoying this car, but the gear linkage is definitely 18 years old! |
