guys a bit of help here.

it could be a simple question but i am hoping to start the m30 conversion next week and i need to know if my gear selector will fit?

i have a 1.8 right now and will the selector be too long?
i know the m30 one is too long but will i need to get hold of a 6 pot selector?


part: the bar the gear stick pivots on and connects to the gear box.

will i need a m20 bar or will the 318 part be the right length?

cheers dude i know the 325 one fits but is the 318 the same length?

i dont want to do the cut and shut job you did as getting the length right may be difficult :?
