I installed my short shifter and I love it. But I was wondering if i could cut it down a bit because it still seems very high compared to others I have seen. I want to take a saw to and make it lower. the third pic shows how low I want it. At my pinky finger or the bottom of the shift knob. Thanks for the input.

Did you put the console back first? Wouldn't that make it look lower? But anyway, I suppose if there isn't anything inside the shaft and you are able to still put a shift knob on there then I don't see why you couldn't.

yea i did put the console back in, and it is noticably shorter but not enough for me. the original one did not have any threading on it. i have an after market shift knob that is held in by alan screws. i guess this will be added to my long list of things to do
