Its just the shifter, not the whole trans. I made a post about how I retrofited the shifter onto the factory shaft.

If you're fairly easy on it and drive like a sane person the 10 plate should be ok on your clutch. As long as you have a pyro, your eGT's will be fine.

I just did this today.
Yes, it looks like the starwheel is too far up but you can still turn it.

All you need is a small flathead screw driver to put in the teeth of the starwheel, turn it towards the engine for more smoke/off the line accleration.

Don't pry on the threads where the 8mm allen head plug screws in.

off the starwheel topic.... Is no fuel plate a bad thing? I have heard both ways on this. I am just seeking more insight. Thanks
