Hi
Brickwerks and Mocki have my kits.. or you can get direct from me..

Its only the Factory turbo D vans that need to be fitted from below, they have a different floor section that is higher, so all the linkage is under the floor, all others inc air cooleds fit from above and very easy..
It fits 4 and 5 speed boxes..

Si

you should really repair your gear lever as it is before you add the short shift kit. I replaced the bushes and bits and the gear lever now feels great and hardly travels about now.

Yes, you should make sure the bushes in the system are in good nick, before fitting the short shifter.. The short shift wont make up for worn out linkages...
