Have put off the install for quite a while, but have spent the whole day today installing it and its not yet finished.
The instructions are very poor, but this youtube video helped (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43WjIBx2TQ4)

However, the instruction documentation and the video didnt show the variation the 2015 Puma has, which is the ABS.
The ABS pipes get in the way of removal and when you finally get to it installation. You have to bend the pipes (quite a bit which is scary) to get them to fit.

Sorry no pics at the moment, I have to reattach the 2 x brake lines tomorrow, and then bleed the clutch and brakes before I am on the road again.

Not an easy job.

Finally completed the install.
I test drove today, its weird.
First of all, its so easy to press the clutch its ridiculous, its like pushing the clutch in when there is no fluid in the master cylinder.
The clutch grabs somewhat around 50% of the pedal travel, I can probably reduce this via the stop bolt on end of clutch box, I probably wont.
Secondly, it feels like the gear changes are less "chunky".
It will definitely take some getting used to, you cant "feel" the clutch grab like previously.
Will post some pics and update in next few days.
