Does the 4spd shifter fit the 5spd gearbox or are they different??

Does anyone make an aftermaket short shift kit for gemini's??
im probly gonna cut an inch or so off the stock one but a fully engineered short shifter would be nice.

Cheers, Simmo.

Same shifter 4 or 5spd.

Have a look in the workshop section. I've done this and it works well.
There's plenty of stock ones been cut down.

Some 5 spd boxes have a different shifter, I have two boxes and they seem to also have slightly different ratios. The one which I have in the car has a different shifter to every other 4 spd I have seen before. It's a shame too cause I have a chrome and a short shifter for the 4 spds that don't fit it.

If anyone knows if it is possible for there to be different ratios in different 5 spd boxes can they give me the details... thanks

cut the tread and about an inch of the top, then cut about 1.5-2 inchs exta of then weld the threaded bit back onto the left over
