    Have you considered getting a CAE shifter instead of the weak long throw vauxhall one? expensive but make a massive difference and id say better than the quaife set up.

    Someone has put one in a nova already....
    If Carlsberg did Motor clubs, then IDMC would probably be the best motor club in the world.

    Ben - considered and dismissed. The CAE looks nice but it's £1200.

    Not sure weather this is the place for it, but my shift problem was going down the box at high speed, High RPM.

    Since fitting a big breather to the top of the turret it has been fine.

    It's very important that you have all parts from one car. If not, so you can get problems by the shifting and you must modify your holder for the cable.

    I used the cable gear change some years with a quaife gearbox and it works fine.

    some f13 housing have the holes for the screws of the cable holder. so you can mount it very easy on it.

    Thanks Marcel. Have you got any pictures you could post of the cable shift on your Nova? Thanks.
