Lou's short stick install q I was trying to figure out my shift **** issue tonight and was looking at the Lou's short stick.(It was on the car when I bought it) I can't count how many times I have looked at this thing and taken it off and never paid a bit of attention to it.
I know it attaches on the left side of the shifter, but does the bend go towards the dash or towards the driver? I have been searching for 1/2 an hour and can't find a definitive answer. I turned the shifter around and drove the car. It's different but I don't know if its right or not.
Sorry for the newb type question but I would like to know how it's "suppose" to be.
Thanks.

If you are sitting in the driver's seat, the stick should attach to the right side of the stub coming out of the shifter. The short stick then bends in towards the driver.
If all the parts are correct, (shifter, stick, etc.) it shouldn't come in contact with the console at all.

I will post a pic of it tomorrow. The guy I bought the car from said it was a Lou's so I'm not 100% sure.
The bolt holes are in the shifter. I looked at the putting the stick on the right side of the shifter and there isn't enough room, the stick would hit the center console.

Sorry - I wasn't correct above. My short stick has been so worry free over the last 10 years, I haven't had the need to look at it and refresh my memory. My sick is also inboard just like this ^
When I put in my new shifter and stick, I did have some problems with the cheap lock washers loosening up. I ended up installing Nord-lock washers way back when and they haven't budged a bit.
