Just got the knob in today, it feels pretty good. I think 2" would have been perfect but it's not bad. I never realized how much the leather knob supressed the vibrations and feel of the shifts. It feels so much more solid now, I love it. One question for you guys running this knob; do you all have short sticks? There is so much of the handle exposed, I don't know if I can get used to it.
Hello
I noticed that you are looking into a aftermarket shifter. I just wanted to leave you know that UMI Performance has a few different Pistol Grip shifter handles to choose from. Below is a link to show you what all we have to offer!

UMI-Seeing this post made me remember sometging.I meant to email you about it a long time ago and forgot.In regard to your short stick,the hardware that comes with it is not the right size.I dont know if it was just my application or what but the supplied hardware was too small and my existing hardware was too big.Not a big deal i just drilled the holes in the stick to accomodate my hardware.I was installing it on a hurst billet BTW

I just looked at ws6 stores short stick, it says if your car didnt come with the hurst or have a short throw on it that it might hit? anybody have this problem? I just ordered the black hurst and was wondering about a short stick but dont wanna mess up anything around the console.
You can safely cut 1" off the Pro 5.0 stick, that's what I did with mine years ago.
I know, I just don't want to. Even if I cut off an inch it would still look like crap. I just ordered the Hurst handle, it should make it look a lot cleaner.

before i installed my ripper shifter, i had a stock 2005 GTO shifter. it owned. it was almost as good as a shortshifter and looked excellent. I dont have any pictures (sorry) but it was also super heavy which made it easier to shift. all you have to do is unbolt your stock stick and install the GTO knob and stick and it knock about 2 inches off of the stock height and looks bad ass
