GBox Detent fitting help??

Hi, has anybody fitted the gbox detent to a righthand drive 2.5 or 2.7 5 speed gearbox? I'm a little stuck as all I can find is the fitting to a 911.

Thanks, Andrew.

won't fit in a 5-speed, will it? does 5-speed even have the issue that the detent was designed to fix?

thanks; learned something new today! they only advertise it for the 6-speed and i've never heard of the issue with a 5-speed until now. you would think the issue would be more prevalent in the audi community given it's the same transmission but a quick google shows it to not be a big problem and no aftermarket fix.

good luck; let us know how it goes ...

Ignore me... Gbox did not read my initial email correctly. It does not work with a 5 speed gearbox......
