Alfa Romeo 147 GTA Episode 8 - Short shift adapter

EDIT: Please do not remove and fit the rubber boot like I did by cutting it, it will eventually dislodge itself. I will figure out a way to reinstall this but for now I suggest you either leave it as is or remove the boot completely and just keep an eye on the joint to make sure it stays clean and lubricated.

In this episode I show you how to fit a shoft shift adapter to the 147 GTA! It's a simple process which only takes 10-15 minutes and makes your shifts around 30% shorter and much more engaging. Definitely a great mod which you should consider for your Busso powered car.

This works on a number of different models that use the C630 and C530 gearbox. In particular the 156 GTA and the GT with the same 3.2L V6 Busso engine. Check the link below for compatibility.
