I can't afford to keep one for myself now as I was sent 8 instead of 10 and can't get hold of the seller, leaving me a few hundred quid out of pocket! I've also decided not to keep my 940 so can't comment on how good the product is.

I've had mine in the car for over a year and It was definately a good buy.

It makes the shift action of the already good M90 box even better.
The throw is obviously much shorter(there's no point in setting it to anything but the shortest setting).
The shift action is also slicker and lighter as the rubber bushes are replaced by a precision bearing.

It has to be one of the best mods you can do to an M90 equiped car.

As I can not afford one due to being sent 2 short there are 5 available at present.

Jim760, nosuchuser, scouskie and yourself (tc) have all shown an interest but are currently short of funds.

I have also now listed them on eBay at £155 or best offer, with 5 available.

I have said that I will hold one for Jim until I am down to my last one then I will need a deposit. If anyone does want one holding then a £30 non refundable PayPal gift deposit would be required, with a date that full payment would be made by.

Forgive me if that seems brash but things haven't exactly gone to plan and I am now a few hundred quid out of pocket. I want these shifters and my 940 gone so I can concentrate more on other things.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, especially as you were not involved in this group buy.

Hopefully your recommendations will help the remaining few sell!

Anybody from the goup buy got round to fitting it yet?

Mine's fitted to the gearbox, but the gearbox is still on a pallet in my unit and will remain so for a while yet!

I must however confess, I did sit a spare driver's seat next to the gearbox and pretend to go through the gears. While making engine noises.
