<< Hi,

 I am considering getting a short-shift kit for my 90 Carat.  The first owner
did a lot of "tuner" mods, so there is the chance that I might already have
one installed.  So I don't embarass myself by ordering one and then
discovering that I already have one, how can I tell if I have one without
crawling under the van?  When I am in 3rd gear, I can place my palm on the
knob and still touch the radio with my outstreched fingers.  I am assuming
that a short shift kit will change this.

 Thanks,

Hi Michael, I installed the short shift kit in my syncro. One way to tell if
you have it, is lift the carpet around the shift base, if there is a thick
aluminum spacer about an inch thick, than you have one. The kit is installed
at the base, there is nothing to do under the car. It
s a simple ingenious little kit.  I like it.   See ya, Michael.
