Yes. Definately a lot shorter.

Even people who have driven mine sometimes think that after they have changed gear, they still think its in neutral.

Never went the Ebay route, but i had a B&M one fitted last week. Great mod, shorter throw, much more precise feel. Highly recomended.

Don't forget with the Ebay ones, u get what u pay for

B&M always seem to be highly regarded. Zak @ Mocom who fitted mine said they were very good quality and he'd fitted them before and never had a problem.

They come with easy to follow fitting insturctions with pictures, but me being useless with tools i had him fit it when it was in having other work done
