i took the plunge and cut 3 inches off the shaft after cutting off the gearnob.
mt old momo nob which i had with my 5 speed box doesnt have the shift reverse feature so i took plunge and bought one that did.
as always alfa excells in being differnt.
the shaft is too small for the nob so i had to make a sleeve to pad it out or gear nob was at a silly angle when tightened up.
Also the shift reverse nob doesnt fit, the sleeve of plastic doesnt fit up inside so i may as well have saved my money and adapted my momo as ive had to adapt my new nob anyway.
also the grub screw is missing out the nob box so i need to take it back tomorrow.
but early tomorrow it will be fixed with shift reverse feature still active, quite pleased with myself.
the gearstick feels much better 3" shorter imho.
now just need to refit my centre console and get the sewing machine out to make a new gaiter, just need some black leather, its a bit extreme cutting up a jacket
