You have to shorten the selector rods. I think there is a walkthrough on the 190 rev site. |

Hi Daniel , you really dont know our Mercs do you ..   Forget the idea that you can get everything you need from a supplier like say , Burton for Fords , or Ralliart for Mitsi's at the click of a mouse , almost nothing exists for us . If you want a short shift kit you will have to make it , however using bronze bushings does improve the change hugely . If you do make one , please take lots of piccies and tell us exactly how you did it . Good luck Jeremy |

I believe you have to lengthen the selectors, up to 3/4 of an inch and then put bronze bushings in place of the rubber ones. |
