Just out of curiosity can the 5 speed short shifter be fitted to the 6 speed box? The reason i ask is because since fitting my c's shifter a year ago the surround with the leather gaitor doesnt fit anymore so ive always wondered if it was the right shifter or is it a case of my gearbox sitting too high? Does anyone else have the same issue?

Yes they are different. The 5 speed shifter can not be fitted to the 6 speed box.

heres mine.....

you can see in the top two corners that it wears on the plastic surround, now these are as tight as hell! Ive tightend them in a criss cross pattern aswell to make sure all sides are equal.




i still had the box so just to make sure it was the right shifter..



seems to be the right one, does anyone else have the same part number on the box?
