****UPDATE*** The Astra E has the same linkage as our car. So it would be $87 USD plus shipping for the linkage"

"Im interested on one of these Ill see if i can get my hands on one when spring comes... Is this thing hard to install? "

exodus:
"It appears to be a replacement selector that would mount on the transmission itself. The short throw shifter on my jetta is much the same and it took 5 minutes to install. "

exodus:
"Just heard back from v-tuning. Shipping to 23225 for the astra E shifter is GBP18.

Total would be approximately USD120 (GBP68... nice guess komail!)

They accept paypal and bank transfers for payment. info@v-tuning.com

Once I have my intake and rotors on, I should be placing an order for this. I'll write up a how-to once I have it on. "

....now I will just sum the rest up...exodus wanted to start a group buy. not enough people stepped up to the plate to buy one and it pretty much went under the radar from there and noone to my knowledge bought one.....

so do any short throw shifter exist for this car?

PM rabbit he made a sort of short shifter before. I went the geto route and cut off about 2 1/2 inches off the stem...

that sounds like you made a shorter shifter. I wanted one that will actually reduce the throw between gears.
