Default B&M Ripper Shifter Question

I have this in my GS, but when it was installed the tech didn't drop it on it's lower setting. How hard is this to lower when the tranny is in the car or would it be best to drop the entire tranny later down the road? Lastly, any pics would be greatly appreciated.

I wasn't aware that the B&M had different settings. I had one in my car for about 5 years.

I installed my own in my 95 a couple of years ago. I don't remember being able to install it in different positions. You don't have to move the trans to do the installation anyway.

Alright, must have had a brain fart, but I could have sworn that their was a standard setting as well as a setting which dropped it an extra inch. My bad gentlemen:o

No problem at all! In fact just be happy that you don't have to change anything, R&R'ing the shifter is a bit of a pain in the C4's!
