Dave's shortshift - now under the management of Bob Brown
Posted: Tue 05.06.2007, 21:41Some refer to the OE gearshift as a celery stick – mine felt more like a pudding stirrer when I first bought my car!
For me it spoilt the whole experience so I set out to develop a bolt on conversion to improve matters. You can read the full saga of this development here if you have a few hours to spare! If not here are some of the endorsements which have kept me going through the dark times:
The resulting Mk2 kit is now available for £75 + £3 for UK P&P (overseas shipping by prior agreement at 'cost').
An esteemed member of LEC recently achieved fitting of this kit in around 20 mins but full fitting instructions are included if you decide to take your time!
Please send a PM if you are interested.
If you have any technical enquiries please post

For me it spoilt the whole experience so I set out to develop a bolt on conversion to improve matters. You can read the full saga of this development here if you have a few hours to spare! If not here are some of the endorsements which have kept me going through the dark times:
“I have had the kit installed for some months now and its superb
It gets 10/10 from me”
“what an immense difference”
“The result is nothing short of a miracle. The gearshift feels like a normal car!”
“The combination of the AB cables, solid mounts, and short shift is nothing short (no pun intended) of making a huge difference in the fun factor of the Elan.”
"who the hell needs Bill with quality kits like this one made by a true Elan owner"
“No more rubbing elbow to the centre console when you can wrist-shift”
“You wouldn't guess from using it that it’s a cable shift at all.”
“The short-shifter is definitely a big improvement.”
“Your MK II short shift kit has transformed my car”
The resulting Mk2 kit is now available for £75 + £3 for UK P&P (overseas shipping by prior agreement at 'cost').
