Sorry can't help, but does the short shift save you modifying the linkage?

Yes, also a million times better shift feel. They also replace the weak plastic bits on the standard corsa linkage.

do you have the spacer in?
without the spacer the short shift doesn't work i believe( i may be wrong)
the old linkage won't work with a spacer..so it could be that mate.

yes mate the bits on each end of my pic, the left goes onto gearbox rod bit, the middle goes onto the swivel bit and the right hand side goes to your gearnob (once the engine is in the car lol)

So, does the LMF conversion short shift give you the bar to replace that shitty plastic bar?

yeah mate, best to get some nylon bushes in there too, and your linkage shouldn't fuck anytime soon!

make sure you get the clips that hold the ball joints in place as the kit i got from lmf didnt come with.
and when selecting reverse the ball joints kept popping off
