Default In need of a shifter "extender"

2000 Ws6. I'm 6'9" and due to how far back my seat is and how reclined it has to be, I have to lean forward to reach 1st/3rd/5th. I have the Tick short throw shifter and it's great but I'd like a shifter handle that bents or is angled more towards me. Does anyone make one that fits the standard shift ball thread size? I've found some but they're all for mustangs and the pitch seems different. Thanks.

I’m not sure about for the T56, but the Hurst handles were always the longer of the short throw shifters for T5 mustangs. It might be the same with the T56.
This monster is 16” ha Long handle.

I was looking on ebay but couldn't find any extenders that would work. A B&M T56 shifter looks like the handle is angled back.

Will the oem handle fit your short throw shifters base? I imagine it’s longer. If you don’t have it or it doesn’t work with the aftermarket base, 16mm-1.50 is the thread pitch your looking for if you want to keep the stock shift ball.
