Yea, the original is the KAD. Dunno who KDA are, perhaps the Chinese company that are making the carp cheapy knock offs?

In answer to your question;

Kad ones work

Other ones dont

You dont really need one either, and they should be called 'short shifts'.

also, using the search function would've bought up a product test that GW did, showing the horrific nature of the cheap rubbish quick shift, and the glory of the KAD jobby.

Well if you want to know how much they are new the price is on KADs website, but that would involve you actually looking for KADs website...

As said earlier, GW did a product test showing installation pictures, in fact, a few people on here have fit these with pictures on the threads!!!!!

A KAD one can be fitted in around 30-40 mins i believe if you go nice and slow and get it right.

Enough said.
