Good call. When I got my pro 5.0 the stick looked way too long so I bought the umi short stick and cut a little bit off. I have the hurst white ball on mine without the jamb nut and it works nicely.

Hey mrhzk35404 can you post a picture of yours by chance???? How did you keep the hurst ball tight without the jamb nut? Loc-Tite?

Im afraid if I go too short Ill have to reach for it too much. I have long *** arms (Im 6'4) but with how far back my seat is, its still a bit of a reach.

I have mine at stock length, and love it. I drive mostly around town, and too short of a stick would just be a strain to shift all the time.

Let me see if I can get a pic up for you. I used some tephlon (sp??) tape and tightend the ball as must as I could by hand.
