I know your car is a 5 speed. The shift kit is a set of steel bushings that replace your factory rubber ones.

This is definetly worth it. I used to miss alot of shifts cause of all the slop in the stock rubber bushings... and I was going to try to make my own kit with washers and JB weld (till I read that doing so can cause worse shifting..). Since I installed the kit I have yet to hit the wrong gear or bounce off the gate. I did notice that the bushings moved my shifter a few mm to the side comapared to stock, and it seems like now 2nd gear grinds if I pull the shifter against the side of the gate a little too hard. It never ground before. I think it's cause I can shift so much faster, and now the transmission can't keep up in that gear.
