I tried to do it properly and called into a couple of engineering companies, but to no avail..
So i went the table/jig router way..
Did five passes and got the desired 15mm..

| I'm really liking the table/router solution to DIY gearbox adaptation. I think I'll be following that route myself soon. I have a duff Passat box here to practice on too so I'll be more confident going at the box I will actually use. |

Oooohhhh
You're using an a4 engine and box aren't you? I need to get in touch with Tim and get my adaptor plate ordered too.
Did you think about getting the gear linkage adaptor from him too or are you going the cable route?
