Nice...

An even better way to go is to upgrade to the 02J shift tower and the VW Polo shift box in the car.  Then you get a floating ball style shifter in the car and you've got a lot more options for short shift kits, upgraded cable ends, etc etc... Cheaper too...

I did this on mine, it shifts BEAUTIFULLY.
