I left the 5" extension off. It just returned the shift throw back to the original length and because of the higher position of the knob, actually put it more "in the way" than I liked. I have long arms so the lower position of the knob works well for me. I agree with the rest of what Bob says about the effects of the addition/mod. Bob Stevens '87 Westy Syncro "Passion Fruit" |
