Maybe it's just me and I did something wrong on the install but for me the the "milled angle" is way to much. I was thinking that this would keep the shifter in the same vertical directionwhen it's in neutral, but for all my gears it puts them off towards the driver. In 1st and 2nd gear the stick is within half an inch of hitting the plastic console and since it's sitting so close to my leg it's hard to shift it.
Like I said it's possible I did the install wrong but I don't see how. I'm gonna drive on it for a few days, maybe I just need to get used to it. By looking at the picture that was posted earlier mine just looks like it's leaning a lot more to the left than it should.

Yeah, judging by the pictures I've got it installed right. The issue I think I have with it is because I have insanely long arms, so the only way I can shift is by putting my elbow on the far side of the center console and then putting my hand on the ****. So know that the **** is even closer to my side it's just that much worse. I'm probably going to call you at work tomorrow Ryan and talk to you. I'm gonna drive it for a few days and see what I think. I don't know if you'd be able to do this, but I'd almost like it if you make me a shift stick that DOESN'T have the angle in it. That way it'd come up almost directly from where the stock one did and not have any bend to it. Because of my driving position that's what I think I want, stock position and angle just shorter, but I'll see if this grows on me. The only reason I got the stick anyway was because my stock one broke so I need to find something. Thanks for your help. And yes I'm running the stock Hurst.
It's still a great product everyone, I ordered it Friday and it got here during the day Tuesday. Took me about 5 minutes to install. And the largest part of that time was just heating the **** to get it off the old stick.

Ru2n00n3er- Drive around with it for a little and see what you think. If its still not working give me a call and I'll see what we can. Normally we don't custom machine a paticalar handle, but since you bought one and its not working like you thought I will gladly do it. What we can do is take one with the angle and mill it flat. This way you will have the same throw but the shifter will sit up straight. Give me a call or email me and will work out. Thanks again!
Regards,
Ryan

Ryan, just wanted to say thanks for making a great product. The UMI short stick is great, and the only thing missing for me is a new Pro 5.0 shifter which will complete the package.
I hope everyone else is as pleased as I am with the short stick.
