    Default Short shift kit

    What have you all used for a short shift kit for a 90 535 5 speed? How do you like it? Where did you get it?

    I got the UUC kit and i got it from their website. it was expensive but it was worth it to me. Got rid of almost all of the slack and gave me that beautiful snick-snick feel.

    The only downside there are the plastic shifter balls. They wear quicker and will lose their feel over time..

    To be fair it's only $250 through a uuc distributer , but you're right, you'll save a whole lot...
