I have the power tower, cut 3/4" off. Feels great, it's just right.

Mike

I have the power tower and IMO in stock trim if feels just right. I'd say you could safely cut down 1 1/4" off of the stock 5.0 piece.

I don't have a short stick, but IMO it isn't worth the $40 some sponsors are charging with the package when you could just cut down the 5.0 piece.

I could snap some pics if you'd like.

Another vote for "cut" ... the Pro5.0 handle cut about 1" feels perfect.

I prefer the short stick. I know when I shift into 4th I can barely get my finger between the shifter **** and the console. I do have a MBA **** though.

Personally, I just don't really like the shorter stick, I prefer it to be a long.
