    the pin that goes into the gearbox needs a fraction of a mm taken off so it sits within the bush on the box otherwise it will pop out and leave you stranded, as i found out.

    i did it with a dremel and a sanding disc. but if you can get a fraction removed with a lathe do it that way as its alot more precise and it will be removed evenly. but when i fitted the same kit to a pals car we didnt need to remove any metal from it, so it depends on the bush in your gearbox. try to fit it post up your problems and somone will have the answer as many kits have been fitted now.
