Thanks for the help, it's all sorted now. Opted for the longer cable which is a perfect fit actually.

Re: Has anyone used slick 50 or other gearbox additives

Stuff oil additives, just use good quality full synth oil with esters.

I use redline motorsport and have for years as it works wonders :) It used on alot of cars with known notchy boxes
