Default **** on WS6Store short stick

I put my stock ball **** on the WS6Store short stick after installing it, and the **** hits the console in 2nd and 4th gear. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a quick fix for it?

I bought the ws6store short stick and put my factory equiped leather hurst ****(stock for the ws6) and it wasn't even close to hitting. I had no problems at all.

WS6 SS + Colored ***** = hit console in 2nd and 4th. I know from prior experience of purchasing both together. Now I have my stock shifter **** on the WS6 SS and it does not hit!

The short stick will hit the console if you don't have a factory Hurst shifter or an aftermarket shifter. Just the plain ole non-Hurst will not clear.

hey SDM, pistol grip setup is really nice. Got the hurst pistol grip, ws6 store short stick, and a hurst pro/comp shifter. With the pistol grip on the short stick, the throw is not as short as it would be with a standard **** on a short stick, but not as long as it would be on a stock stick. Its like heaven smack damn in the middle. Only thing that sucks about the pistol grip is that the metal surface just gets coooolllllddd (put a tight grip on it for about a min while your car warms up and then it should be fine).

Ill get a pic up as soon as i can.

This is why the Lou's Short Stick has a nice backwards bend. I have a MBA ball on mine and it doesn't even come close to the console.

Though I have a stock hurst, so it wouldn't matter much i suppose.

looks real nice! i would thread it down more and chop off a few more inches. mine is really nice, how it sits way down low! you barely have to move the stick at all!
