http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Beetle-Beach-Bugg...1QQcmdZViewItemI fitted one of these to my fug and it transformed it, not only coud I reach the gearstick, but I could change gears with it too!......unlike the other porridge stirrer........it also has a quick shift mechanism built in, so the throw is very short compared to stock.......best thing I ever fitted to my fug!
