Hi all,
there are a few threads on this issue but none really answer my question, so......
The shifter on my RS Mk2 is broken. Some reports claim that the shifter is the same as a regular MK1-MK2 escort except for a spacer bolted under it. Others say the gearstick itself is different. Does anyone know for certain what the situation is. If I buy a standard escort shifter ( there are some on ebay for $50-$70) and fit it with this spacer plate will it be the same short shift action. Does anybody know if the shifters on burtons website are a good replacement, as these claim to be "short throw" already. If the burton shifters are already short throw does this then mean you do away with spacer plate on my RS?
Cheers
