Definitely worth doing, much less movement of the gear lever, plenty of "how to" vids available. Jeff

Why change it? It's not a sports car and I like the feel that you are really shifting gear like on the Massey Ferguson 35 where I learned to drive on.
But maybe I am not the average 90 driver.  Click image to enlarge Roel 1984 90 2.5 na Diesel - RR V8 (1994-2001) 1997 Camel Trophy Discovery 300TDI (2001-2009) 2005 G4 Discovery III 4.4 V8 (2008-2018) It's gone but it still hurts. 2003 90 Td5 (2009-now) |

Deffo change it, worth every penny + the clutch spring mod. Makes it much easier to drive.
Why change it? Because it makes the Defender easier to drive, less like stirring pudding more precise throws |

I’ve been thinking about this but honestly, I don’t think my gear changes are that bad and I have air-con and I’m worried the extra height from the spacer will cause me to bash on the trim in first...

Easily one of the best modifications you can make to a Td5. As others have said, don't even think about it - just do it! Out of all the things that I have done to mine the slickshift and smaller steering wheel are right up there as two of the best (for me). 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green

Do it.
It's more eminent on a r380 with vague shift and I didn't notice much change on mine after fitting as mine was shifting good. But when I drove another the movement of the stick was so much that I told the owner to put one of this in and it has been much better.
