    I put a 6 inch extension on mine. I would have gone taller had I known they bother so many people.
    Also changed out the fake wood top piece from previous driver in favor of a POW/MIA shift knob.

    Are you sure it’s fake wood?
    Pretty sure I seen real wood ones around and if so I think they were pricey??

    Yeah. 6-1/2 would have triggered a few folks for sure. Glad you kept it under the radar, low key, down low. Lol!

    I'm in the market for a short throw shifter. I'm trying to get my 0 to 60 times below five minutes.

    Put 13 sticks on it. One for each gear and power shift it.
