Try this first.

Unscrew the gear ****, and remove the the plastic trim (2 screws).

Hacksaw the top of the gear lever off, leaving 1/4" of thread.

Use electrical tape to pack out the area just below the remaining thread.This will stop the **** from moving.

Re-assemble.

If you decide to change to an 'after market' gear **** (allen key fittment) the lever can be reduced further.

This works very well, and should save you about £250.

If u're thinking of a genuine replacement, it's cost quite a bit. But it's better. Just becareful of one thing...U have to get used to the shifting b4 trying to do the McRae thing. Otherwise, U may just drop into wrong gear n gears will break. Cheers.
