Quick shift is definitely worth it. Got one on my 1.6 and its feels ace! So much tighter with a noticeably shorter shift as well. I'd reccommend some MTEC nylon bushes for it as well if you do change

Oh right so its probably worth investing in to do over xmas as il have the sumpguard and things out of the way. If it is that noticable it should come in pretty handy with the type of driving il be doing. Any recomendations on where to get one from? Thanks

Thanks for that. Are these any harder to set up than the standard linkage?

No harder to setup iirc. Do the cup bushes while your there, You can get them from vauxhall for under a tenner and they are so worthwhile.
