Can anyone help me out with how to mount my gear stick and the mechnism.

I was going to mount the mechnism to the engine cradle, just above the lever on the engine, but am worried about compromising the strength of the cradle (though, I guess I'll have to compromise something wherever I mount it).

The other bit I'm struggling with is the lever itself - MK didn't attach the tabs before powder coating, so I need a way of mounting the stick securely.

Any help and pics would be hugely appreciated.

dont you fancy a paddle shift?

much better and easier

there are a few more photos on my web site if you need them...

I also wanted a paddle shift to start off with, but after I drove one, I reckon I can change gear quicker with a conventional shift - obviously thats just my opinion, but for that reason alone it's worth sticking with a gearlever.

and here is a pic of the lever mounted...

Interestingly enough since changing to paddleshift I have found it quite difficult to get used to as there just simply isn't as much leverage as there is with a stick.

Sometimes I find that going across the box from 1st to 2nd it slips into nuetral and the adjustment is more limited.

I will see how it goes as I can revert back easily as I left all the stick bits in.

Where did you get the gear knob, was it from MAC?
