MY first Short video on the Short Shifter.. ( See what I did there.. ? )

Quick video showing the shifter in action.

I believe it to be heavier than the aftermarket aluminum one, and cheaper and all parts are easily sourced. Win Win Win..

Its a combination of a few parts I cobbled together, a E30 BMW Short Shifter, and two brackets. Together will be firmer and less expensive than the Aluminum aftermarket shifter for the Getrags.

Will work for an Opel GT, and a Opel Manta A, etc..

BTW probably WONT work for a BMW,, as they dont have the Ears on the rear of the Getrag that the Opel one does.

The CIH Getrag 240 was primarily fitted to the following:

1980-1988 Manta B / CC with 2.0L CIH
1980-1982 Rekord E1 w/ 2.0N, 2.0S, 2.0E, 2.1D, 2.3D
1982-1986 Rekord E2 w/ 1.8S, 1.8i, 2.0N, 2.0S, 2.0E, 2.2i, 2.3D, 2.3TD

Possibly also installed in the :
1980-1986 Opel Senator A W/ 2.5L or 2.8L CIH
1981 Ascona B w/ 2.0 CIH
1980-1982 Vauxhall Carlton
1980-1981 Vauxhall Cavalier Sport w/ 2.0L CIH
1980-1984 Bedford CF1 w/ 2.3L Diesel
1984-1987 Bedford Blitz CF2 w/ CIH 2.0L / 2.3D
Other 1980s Holden / Daewoo models are possibilities too.

There was also the Getrag 265 5 speed fitted to the larger 3.0E 6 cyl CIH.
But that transmission is a bit bigger and for a different video.

There was also the Getrag 265 5 speed fitted to the 6 cyl CIH. This should work on those as well. But that transmission is a bit bigger and for a different video.
