you can also remove your ****, cut 3/4" or so off the shaft then thread the **** right back on - I did it with the shifter still in the
car with an old fashioned hack saw..... shorter height feels much better and did not really affect the shifting quality one way or the other

I still need to install my RSD Snap Shifter, but it is significantly shorter

I will update with any changes in shift feel after I install in in a week or two

MGW Shifter with TWM Weighed Shift **** is probably one of the best options outthere. The quality is the best.
