   Got mine through this morning,
   
   Says on the side for Peugeot 106 1996-2000 and Citroen Saxo 1996-2000
   
   I take it this will still fit a Saxo VTS 2003 model??

   Should do, i dont think there is a difference between the mk1 and mk2 gearboxes so you should be fine... Did it state that it was for 96-00 when you bought it?

   Pretty much same as me but ive heard from this site that its not recomended for daily use as it will where your gearbox down to nothing eventually

   I'll sack that off then for the small amount of benefit they give.

   Surely it wouldn't harm your gearbox on everday driving?
   
   I've got new linkages to go on at the same time so hopefully that'll help to.

    Made me worry abit when I read they damage your gearbox during everyday driving!
    
    Why do people keep saying stuff like this then not backing it up, jeez! Anyhoo, no point getting one now but in due time
    
    Only problem is, thats extra weight in my car

    That sounds quality, Cheers m8... Is it worth paying the £80 for one then, what i mean by that is, can you notice it alot or is it only a slight difference? is it worth uprating the clutch at the same time?
