Are these necessary for an XE conversion?

I have been loonking through a guide, and it talks about cutting in half, and lengethening a gear linkeage by 15mm. Sounds a bit council.

Can I set up the linkage using the standard Corsa one?

Ta!

You can buy a quickshift from LMF, or cut and shut the standard one.

I don't think it works without cutting/welding, unless you don't use the gearbox spacer (or something like that)

or you can run without the rear spacer, and not need to mod it or fit a quick shift...

you times you dont always need to run the spacer, engine sits slightly off, but it isn't notice-able, and doesn't affect how it drives

Thanks Tom,

So I can use this, and not have to mod the calibra/corsa one?
