Yep mine is the same way, been using it for a year. I think the instructions show the original design not the one you got. The offset is kinda nice because you can adjust it to the location you like.

It's in a c5 z06. It's a lot better than the stock shifter. The stock one felt pretty vague. I've never had a problem with the 2 -> 3 shift so far but I've taken it to the drag strip once.

I got the MGW **** but I think I'm going to get one of the taller handle-type shifter ***** instead of a ball. The metal on the MGW gets so hot during the summer I can't touch the shifter.
