sorry i just got my cts-v so im still learning... why did you guys weld that piece of pipe under the stock hole? (was it just to get a shorter shift through, or does it actaully clean up some shift slop?) could i just make a poly or steel sleeve to fit inside my stock hole and put on a good SS bolt and lock nut?
The reason for the piece of pipe welded on has been pretty well explained in this thread already, I think. As BudRacing said, it shortens the shift action.
And on a forum etiquette note, feel free to delete the extra pictures and text from my post that you quoted, since you were only asking a question about a single picture. The rest of the long quote is unnecessary and just clutters the thread.

thank you both! i like the idea of poly bushings a lot. i see creative steel sells just 2 though? dont i need 3? 2 for the mounts on the side of the trans, and one where the shifter joins the shift linkage rod?

Nope, just 2. The connection from the shifter to the linkage is a solid connection. However, there are bushings on the front of the side support arms where they attach to the trans. I dont know of any aftermarket replacements for those, but some have used electrical nylon sheathing to squeeze in there and create their own firm bushing.
