Yes id say so, and cheap too. Mine was shortened around 30% and the gears are alot stiffer. Sometimes have trouble getting them in though.

Found this on my mates car and on mine, never seems to get mentioned but 4th hits the steering rack and wont engage.
Was fun grinding back the steering rack bracket with the engine in the car

yes and its because the bit on the gearbox used has been corsa and shouldhave been the big block astra/cally one which is longer moving the other end the pivot asway from the rack
