OK, a little update on the DIY Short Throw Shifter:

Maybe I cut the shifter too short. I thought I only took out about 1 1/2 inches from the total shifter length. After install, the shifter looks like its 4 inches shorter than stock. Consequently, I have to reach a little more than I would have liked to shift. Not good.

The spacers worked like a charm. They allowed a 1/4" extra drop, clearing the shifter arm so I don't scrape the heat shield any more.

I dunno, of anyone that has installed their own short shifter, anyone have that "too short" problem? Was your shifter straight or did it have a little bend in it?
