Short stick shifter positioning?
My WS6store short stick is nowhere near center either. 1st gear looks like 3rd gear. I've gotten used to it. But I have never hit the console in any gear, and I have the factory Hurst base. I thought I read somewhere on this board that most short sticks hit the console if it did NOT have the factory Hurst.
You're right SweeTbone, the stock factory hurst should not have a problem with a short stick as far as being centered. I take it the short stick is straight (not angled to the driver's side)? If you have an aftermarket shifter, namely the Pro 5.0 shifter, you need to get a short shifter that has an angle ~60 degrees towards the driver's side, otherwise your stick will not center correctly and hit the passenger's side of the console when you go for reverse or 6th. You probably don't have a stock shifter in your car.

I got the angled stick from byunspeed and it definantly changes the location of the stick but I got used to it and it does'nt hit the console anywhere. by the way i have the non-hurst factory shifter.

Its actually not hitting the console, it jsut appeard to be since i had the boot not tucked down. It comes close.
And it does take some getting used to lol. When im at a light or something and I look at it it makes me think oh **** im in 5th or 3rd or something.
