Default WS6 Store Stick....

Does any body else have an occational missing of 4th gear now that they use this stick? It happens to me sometimes and it never did with the stock stick.

I never had a problem with it when I used it but, I decided to switch out and just cut down and weld the pro 5.0 stick for the offset. The WS6 stick is a pretty nice piece, I just wanted the centered shifter look. But so far as missing gears, if anything I think it helped out. Doesn't have the rubber grommet and that smooshie feel.

I used the side less machined for my WS6 store stick when I installed it, it was only off center by a few mm. If it wasn't short, you wouldn't notice it wasn't stock.

I nail the console too if I shift it hard. I thought I did it wrong and pushed the shifter all the way forward when I re-installed it to account for the play, still does it. Second can also be a little difficult to hit, because of the way you have to grab the shifter. I'm used to it now, but before I wouldn't get it all the way in gear and I let out of the clutch and it would grind. My 2-3 is sick as **** now though

No probs missing gears nor any problems hitting the console. Wonder why some people hit the console and some don't? I have a 6.5" stick though if that half inch makes any difference.

Some consoles may be a little farther ahead in relation to the shifter. Guess it differs by the car...I have the WS6store stick as well and it hit on my 95 TA, but doesnt hit on my 01 TA
