i fitted my pro ratchet up yesterday and i have it selecting all gears straight away, its not as simple as how long a bracket ect, there is a correct angle that the cable mount needs to be on and there is also a distance that the selector bar needs hole to hole as well as an offset on the X and Z axis, i used a GZM custom bracket kit, it was $77 for 2 dodgy lazer cut bits of steel, best money ive spent, all mesurements were spot on, i located it up for neutral and every gear selected perfect,, now im using a jatco 4 spd but i believe the have kits for other boxes, GZM Automotive 2/2 Tuscan Court Thomastown 3074
