      do you mean the plastic ball joint on the top of the tunnel that the gear lever pivots on?

        you can do the short shift mod and if its a 5 speed box its a straight swap. I found out that the ball and socket joint used in this mod is in fact a mk1 golf one. The part number for the circlip is n0124121021.

                      It does fit after you open the holes out slightly.
                      Took me 20 mins and gives riughly 30 percent lesd throw making gear changes more precise.

                          Dremel works well. There is a guide under short shift kit on here somewhere.
