Hi Fran
The 01E you sent me should be here end of month.....finally.
I have used the cable shift before with no issues but i would like to try a full mechanical shifter this time if possible. If not i connect up the cable shifter....
As installed in the vehicle the 01E uses rod shifters as the shifter is nearly on top of the gearbox, however for a rear engine vehicle a cable type shifter is almost required due to the length and accessibility to the gearbox.
