I don't know which one I have, but it rocks. Don't know what a short stick will feel like on a non-hurst, but I hope you don't hit the console. Never had that prob, but I have hurst all the way.

well later on im gonna get a used hurst.. but for now i dont need my odd shaped erection with a ****.

i dont think half an inch will make a difference in hitting the console or not.

i dont want anything too short, as to the whole stick is covered by the boot.

i have the 6in with the non hurst, it hits the console. im waiting on my factory hurst to come in. im dealing with it for now. id say it will be totally different for you because you have a 94, the console is different.

im gonna get the 98-02 console later on, so by then ill have another shifter.

it wont angle as much when you get the short stick on. . its not your **** that will hit, well it will but your stick will hit too. if i still had my cue ball hurst **** it wouldnt hit because it dont have the tail on it like my leather hurst ****, but the stick still would. the only reason i think it hits is because of the lack of the hurst shifter. thats why i think some people's hit and others dont, its because some have the hurst and some dont and think they do.

my boot is different too, it doesnt roll up then down which takes up 1/8" more than mine like your guy's. and i think the overall space is bigger (longer) than the 4.5gen console.

i think the LT1 console's are a little lower profile than the LS1's

yea, like an inch shorter.

ill just get the 6" stick and put it on.

if it does hit, will it really affect anything? i know it hits on 2nd and 4th and 6th, but what about 1-R?

no if you look at my pictures, its a good 1-2 inches from the console. it really hasent bothered me any, just rattles my change in my ash tray a little when i hit 2nd hard, doesnt stop it from going into gear.
